CURRENT MISSION

To make the world seem smaller!

ABOUT ME

Hi fellow couch surfers! I studied in Bangkok at Thammasat University for sixth months but finished my degree studying Development Economics at UC Berkeley. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, and have pretty much lived there my entire life. I've recently moved to New Orleans, LA as of June 2012 and I am excited about this new adventure. I would say that I am a very warm, hospitable, compassion & passionate, opinionated, liberal, person who always manage to enjoy, or try to at least, every situation that I come across. I love my family, my friends, and my dog Otto, whom without them, I wouldn't be as rooted and grounded as I am.

PHILOSOPHY

You can't truly live, if you don't yearn to learn!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to get to know more travelers and fellow couch surfer members in New Orleans. I currently am living alone in a two bedroom loft in New Orleans, what was formerly an old mayonnaise plant. I'd like to be hospitable with offering fellow travelers with a bed, advice, and most importantly lending an ear. Sometimes traveling to foreign places may be scary and it's nice to know that there are others out there as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am fairly new to couch surfing in the States. I've only participated in Couch surfing abroad. Although this whole experience may be new to me, I am extremely open to the possibilties of making acquaintances, travel buddies and hopefully friends from this experience.

Interests

I love ethnic food particularly spicy food. I love movies, going out with new and old friends, spending time with my dog (how I miss him so much), going to live shows or singers in lounges, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books
