Hi, I’m Karen! Originally from Taiwan and raised in Sacramento, I’ve called Oakland home for the past 10 years. I’m passionate about design, hospitality, and creating spaces where people feel comfortable and inspired. Hosting allows me to share my love for Oakland, its vibrant culture, and all the amazing dining and outdoor experiences it has to offer. When I’m not hosting, I enjoy working on creative projects, exploring local spots, and connecting with the community. I believe in going the extra mile to make every guest’s stay special, and I look forward to welcoming you to my little corner of the Bay Area!
