About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go Everywhere/See Everything

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from the Master of Marketing Research program at the University of Georgia and I'll soon be starting a great job as a Marketing Analyst in Memphis, TN! I love travelling and meeting people on the road. I'm into cycling and the thought of trying to get everywhere via only a bike. My other favorite mode of transportation is the subway (but I hate buses). I like learning about people because the best stories are real! You can learn so much from others.

PHILOSOPHY

Find out what you love and do what you need to do to get there! Life is not perfect but work with what you got and make it even more fabulous. And everything that was said in the Harry Potter books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a Surfer only (as of now). I have no couch right now as I'm crashing with my parents in San Jose until I move to Memphis, TN at the end of June to start my new job!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into anything that makes me laugh, entertains me when I want to shut my brain off, or is clever. That is a very broad range, I admit, but I will give appreciation where it's due.

Books: having spent the last year in graduate school, my recreational reading has only included young adult post apocalyptic dystopian trilogies (the first book is always great and the second one is always bad...the third one usually hasn't been written yet). Before graduate school, I was getting into autobiographies and memoirs...there is hope for me yet.

TV: Mad Men, The Walking Dead, GCB, Modern Family, crime dramas (I know, I know)

Movies: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Amelie, Chick Flicks

Music: I love music but I am never on the edge of music trends. That being said, I've been to 3 Muse shows and Outside Lands in SF last year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking up Huayna Picchu at 5 AM to see Machu Picchu from above.
