About Me

I am an adventurous person that believes in spontaneous experiences fueled by a mutual passion for living in the moment. My hobbies consist of listening to music (rap, edm, rock), jogging, basketball, watching movies, making music, going out, reading, and architecture/design. I am definitely someone who loves finding out similar interests with people I meet and to plan out thing to do with a bunch of like-minded people. When I'm not at work doing what I love (hopefully I can really say this in the future), I am at home listening to music, cooking, watching basketball, or hanging out with friends.

Philosophy: Experiences are made, not collected

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS provides the best opportunity as the guest/host relationship is more intimate and homely than that of a hotel, or even of that in a hostel. I would like to have down-to-earth exchanges where we can truly find out what makes us laugh, cry, scream in fright, jump in excitement, and contemplate the deeper meanings in our travel and life experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories about my travels to the East and how to take control of your life in the colorful and hectic North American world. I am sort of a jack of all trades and can spend time sharing experiences with: dancing, making music, getting through engineering in uni, interior design, architecture, thought-provoking chit chat to get each other through tough times :) ...etc
