About Me

Hi there!

Like most couchsurfers, I love traveling!

I'm notorious for getting lost, but luckily I love to seeing new places! It all works out in the end.

Right now I'm in-between careers and hoping to find something that will allow me to travel more, and help others travel too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way to meet new people and see new places?

I've been on couchsurfing for a while but always ended up staying in hostels or with friends. Hoping to actually couchsurf soon!

Interests

Adventures!

Baking, tea, craft beer, wine, crocheting, listening to music, backpacking, exploring new places (and subsequently getting lost), eating, watching movies and tv shows, playing video games sometimes, going to concerts and festivals, reading, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From 2013-2016 I worked in Japan and survived biking to work in typhoons 😅.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always on the lookout for new music, books, and movies. Do you have any recommendations?

Sharing experiences and learning about different cultures is invaluable and so much fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel experiences and recommendations, my eclectic music collection, food, my limited knowledge of Japanese and Swedish, a nice cup of tea.
