About Me

I used to host a ton but various living situations over the past few years stopped me from being too active.
Now I'm settling down and could host again!

As for about me. I spent my 20's living in Asia, having a blast, and paying off student loans. I finished 'em in 2019 and immediately took off to thru hike the Appalachian Trail (3500km of mountains from Georgia to Maine). I came back to Taiwan in February 2021 and am settling into a more permanent life here.
I'm pretty great at painting, I love most forms of exercise, and will talk too passionately about bike-packing if you let me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started as a surfer and then hosted for years and now I'm back to host again.

Interests

I like weight-lifting, painting, read too much, very environmentally-friendly, serious feminist, and am currently all about that inner-work hoodoo.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Me and You and Everyone We Know.

Books: so many. Recently The Fuck It Diet and The Deepest Well have been blowing my mind.

Music: these days it's a mix of all the hipster bs I found in college, peppered with new T. Swift and Lizzo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw an escaped mental patient in a hospital gown and hiking boots bend into downward dog and launch a shit in the streets of Montréal.

I can't necessarily say it was amazing but I was pretty stunned.

Also I solo bicycled around Asia for 9 months. And thru hiked the 2000+ miles of the Appalachian Trail. That was pretty cool.
