About Me

I love travelling and learning about new cultures and ideas. I'm eager to try new experiences and enjoy fairly flexible travel with my partner.

Interests: Music / Art / Culture / Community / Nature / Travel / Food (especially vegetarian)/ Business with a social aspect

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and have new experiences as well as meet new friends to connect with. I'd like to learn more from locals about their home and themselves, and share about my own home and myself if anyone is interested.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many! I have a special interest (and experience) in traditional music from different cultures so am always up to learning something new about the music, art, and culture of a place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the hidden tiger's nest in between cliff faces at Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest Monastery), Bhutan. A special life highlight for sure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Eager to learn: About a new place, local cooking, about local community initiatives, and anything related to traditional music and arts!
