Hello! I'm an American currently studying in Singapore. I don't know what I want to do with my life yet, but I'm very interested in marine conservation. Given that I grew up in California, it's perhaps not surprising that I love the beach (unfortunately, I'm too uncoordinated to surf) and swimming in general. I'm a big fan of other outdoors activities too - hiking, cycling and good old-fashioned exploring. Like most folks on here, I love spontaneous adventures and meeting new people.
Interested in Dogs
Interested in Environmentalism
Fluent in English

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
The university I go to is quite international. I'm only a freshman, but this year I've loved getting to know people from around the world. I hope Couchsurfing will give me opportunities to continue to make new friends. :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: The Beatles, Billy Joel, Queen, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Amy Winehouse, always looking for recommendations... Books: A Farewell to Arms, The Great Gatsby, Hamlet Movies: Good Will Hunting, The Big Lebowski, Finding Nemo (just keep swimming)
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Spent several days snorkeling off the coast of Lombok with friends. Seeing schools of colorful fish as big as a small car was absolutely mind-blowing!
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: This year, I picked up Latin dance at school. I'm quite clumsy still, but happy to share my limited knowledge of cha-cha, rumba, and jive with hosts. Learn: I love picking up words in new languages! Share: Food and good conversations. My home if you're ever in California or Singapore
What I Can Share With Hosts
Happy to take you out for a beer, bring you food, and share stories about past adventures!
