About Me

I'm currently house hunting for a place in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, and me and my boyfriend David are looking for a place to stay in the meantime until we find our permanent place. As close to Echo Park as we can get would be great!

We also travel from time to time to Nashville TN, Baltimore MD, Albuquerque NM, and NYC.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love couchsurfing as a host and as a surfer. It's such a great way to see new places and meet new people. So much better than staying in a stale hotel with no one to show you around. :)

Interests

I'm an optical boutique owner, and a singer/writer/musician/actor. I have a pet bunny who stays in a playpen and is litter box trained, so he’s no more impact on a space than a big suitcase.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like action movies and any kind of music that is soulful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I own a fine service optical boutique, and I am in the process of launching a practice in partnership with another optical in Echo Park. Ask me anything about glasses!

Teach, Learn, Share

As a licensed optician, I’m an eyewear expert, so I can solve all things glasses. I’m also a musician and on-camera personality, and I’m currently pitching a National TV show about eyewear fashion in the fall of 2023. I have taught English to kids in Taiwan, while I stayed there for a year. I have also given private acting classes to kids and adults.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of Nashville, Tulsa, LA, and Taiwan, those are the places I've lived. I also enjoy talking about the culture of Taiwan, as I have spent alot of time there, and I'm half-Taiwanese and half-American.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Taiwan, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
