Member since 2012
2019 has been a year of travel. My boyfriend and I left everything behind to spend 7 months in Asia, then 4 months road-tripping in USA. We're transitioning into living in Austin, TX and looking for a community. I'm laid back and enjoy learning. I love to be active outside and I love creating things. Whenever I visit a place I aim to try to see it from a local's point of view.
Interested in Art
Interested in Cooking
Fluent in English
Learning Spanish
Music, Movies, and Books
I don't read as often as I'd like, but I love skimming in bookstores. Usually, I go for non-fiction. I like watching historical dramas and psychological thrillers. As far as music, I like almost everything except country and rap. I've been getting more interested in blues recently.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Seeing rainbows and moonbows in Yosemite Falls. Finding dinosaur footprints in Utah. Swimming with dolphins and rays in Florida. Checking out the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xian, China. Watching how cinnamon is processed in Sri Lanka. Paragliding in Nepal.
Teach, Learn, Share
Sketching, wire-wrapping jewelry, cooking. I love cooking...teach me your favorite recipe! Or trade me some foreign coins?
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm clean and do my best to make a minimal impact on my surroundings. I can be sociable or give you your own space.
My Interests
I like discovering why things are the way they are and what factors shape them...so sometimes I turn into a science and museum geek. I also really enjoy making things and getting my hands dirty. Gardening, painting, etc.
