I’m a software engineer and I love to write, draw, cook, and of course, travel! In 2017 I basically lived out of my suitcase for most of the year while I hopped around from Japan to Bali to Morocco, Croatia, Slovenia, Thailand and Panama. I love getting inspiration from the cultures I learn about!

I used to live in Japan for over two years. I love to cook, explore, make new friends and butcher foreign languages.

Fully vaccinated and boosted! 💉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite memories from traveling always revolve around people, which is why I make it my mission to connect with the people I encounter on my trips. I love hearing your stories and will happily share mine!
