CURRENT MISSION

Learn, see, do as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am curious and quick to laugh. I love experiencing new things, and am slowly becoming addicted to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

To be open as possible to new thoughts and experiences. To always laugh instead of cry. To enrich the lives of as many people as I can, whether it be through food or thought.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Malaysia, my family and I were in Kota Kinabalu, and I saw a sunset that had the whole rainbow in it. Up above us, the sky was a deep purple, and right at the edge of the horizon line, it was fiery red, and the spectrum was complete in between. Even green! Green in a sunset!

Teach, Learn, Share

Moms can never teach you enough. Dried spices should be bought in the smallest amount possible, and never kept longer than 6 months. A supernumerary-toed cat is called a polydactyl. Homemade salad dressing is the easiest and best thing you can learn to make.
