I'm a math teacher turned artist, currently residing in NYC and traveling at every opportunity! I love backpacking, painting, experimenting in the kitchen, having friends over, playing with dogs, meeting new people, being the first one up in the morning, cooking for my drunk friends at 2 am, checking out too many books at once, and making my bed every single morning.
Interested in Cooking
Interested in Dancing
Fluent in English
Learning Korean
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I was skeptical at first... but couchsurfing truly brings out the very best in the things I love most about traveling. I love experiencing a new place with locals, and love even more sharing unique moments with those like-minded.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Teyana Taylor, SZA, Kendrick, The Carters, Sam Smith... Movies: LOTR, Quentin Tarantino Books: Currently on my nightstand: Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins, Dune by Frank Hebert, and House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I ran a marathon on the Great Wall of China in 2019, which I absolutely do not recommend haha.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Korean drinking songs, how to Salsa, my go-to vinyasa flow, and how to pack a week's worth of travel in a backpack. I can share with you deep conversation about the stars, the atoms, and everything in between at 2 am over a glass of wine. I can promise I am eager to learn from humans all over the world and count couch surfing as a wonderful opportunity and blessing.
