About Me

Silicon Valley based professional, closet artist, not so closet crazy cat lady.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Growing up, my parents often found me sleeping on the different couches around the house (or on my brother's bed), curled up with my trusty bear Benjamin. This was my version of travel, before I upgraded to sleepovers, stayway camps, and finally visiting friends in their hometowns. I've been very fortunate to travel to a few places because of work, but it's nothing compared to seeing and experiencing a place through someone else's eyes, filtered with their memories and passions for a place they call home. That's why I'm here - to be able to see a friendly face anywhere across the globe, and to share my hometown through my eyes.

I love meeting new people, making friends with people with different perspectives.
I love waking up in new places, breaking the routine and refreshing the mind.
I love experiencing different cultures, seeing there's more than one way to live a life.
