CURRENT MISSION

Making an impact...........BOOM!

ABOUT ME

I am lover of life and a self-admitted workaholic. People need to work hard, play hard, and relax equally. All three things are essential. I love meeting new people, trying new food, and experiencing new places. My family is one of my top priorities, and I love my siblings to death. During my free time I like to cook Italian food, read voraciously, and take dance classes.
To elaborate on my education section, I consider Swarthmore as my alma mater, and I am currently a student at Drexel Law School.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open-hearted, open-minded, and open to new experiences.
Take advantage of every opportunity.
Live your life without regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Getting the word out, and hoping to get other friends involved. Also, I want people to know that if you embrace new cultures, new countries, new things, your life will be so much richer and fuller. You don't know what you're missing out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've seen and done is participate in a traditional Khmer wedding in Cambodia. It was an incredibly amazing but long ceremony over a period of 1.5 days where the bride and groom underwent multiple outfit changes. I was honored to be one of the bride's attendants, and it was definitely an experience that I will never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a lawyer, I'm always looking to learn more about the law and to teach about the law. I know it sounds dry and dusty, but the law is the framework of society in any country and it provides stability for the people regardless of whether it's a democracy, monarchy, or socialist autocracy.

I can teach you to read music, make pasta sauce from scratch, and network effectively in any meeting.

I love to talk about new types of wines/beers, cars, travel, restaurant/food, public policy, classical music, tv sitcoms, and religion.
