About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let's Inspire and Be Inspired!

ABOUT ME

Calm, quiet person when we first introduced. But once we break the ice and get to know each other, I'm a friendly easy-going person with a kind heart to cats and dogs. Spontaneous and adventurous, ready to try new experience. I can be too talkative after a few good drinks, just don't mind me =)

PHILOSOPHY

Love yourself, or you don't deserve to be loved.
Let our own light shine, and give permission to others to do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Baby cousin mentioned CouchSurfing while I'm planning my solo backpacking advanture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not yet, but looking forward to start!

Interests

Recently, I've fallen in love with surfing, started a new relationship with this magnificent ocean. From the physical stamina, to the challenge, to the mental side of surfing, all push toward a positive attitude with strong energy. Surfing is life, I'll never be the same again.
Back in hometown, I love to enjoy delicious cocktails with my good friends. Having a good company is always a gift.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jack Johnson, Ingrid Michaelson is my recent favorite. also enjoy some American indie rock music - Cold War Kids, Modest Mouse etc.

(have a low-tolerance to thriller and scary movies these days..)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went out to the water and caught my first 4ft wave. Walked back to the shore - I'm in a better world!

Two weeks hike to Mt Everest Base Camp, I stood at Kala Patthar and watched the sunrise behind Mount Everest. It opened my heart and embarked my travel journey - passion to see the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a young professional in financial industry for five years, I would love to share my experience working in Wall Street as well as the culture of corporate America.
Also recently lived in Dominica Republic for nine months, it would be fun to share some of my Dominican stories.
