I enjoy the small things in life (I'm the type of person that really enjoyed the movie Perfect Days, so yes truly the small things in life type of gal). I love traveling to see all the marvelous attractions, but I also enjoy seeing people just going about with their lives in a busy local spot. I get really excited when I'm in a chaotic, massive market - the more stimuli the better! There is always so much to notice and appreciate in these places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

people are fascinating! i'm forever intrigued by the prospect of a goofy or fulfilling or nerdy or humorous conversation. human connections and vibes are tricky things to get, all the more reason to meet more folks.

Interests

I’m a huge foodie with a small stomach. Aside from eating, I enjoy nerdy convos. You can never go wrong with philosophy or religion, but you know anything that’s peculiar and adventurous is cool too! Also I’ve been trying to appreciate jazz more. I’m musically challenged so it’ll take me a while to get there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in a watch tower on the Great Wall, barely legally (it's unclear by local laws whether one should be able to camp there) and watching the distant city lights illuminate a patch of darkness.
