About Me

I am currently traveling through South East Asia for 9 months.

I love meeting new people and learning about cultures through language, food, & music. I am a huge animal person. I studied Philosophy in university and love to talk about existentialism and crazy theories. I try to live life spontaneously and am always up for a new adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met two amazing people in Istanbul, Turkey, who originally became friends in Uzbekistan through Couchsurfing. I wanted to give it a try myself!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music — hip hop, rap, pop, country, indie. Currently I’ve been listening to a lot of Vũ (Vietnamese rapper).

My favorite movie is Interstellar as I am a huge astronomy/space nerd.

I am almost finished with Tuesdays with Morrie, a book about cherishing life and being kind to others, which I highly recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a star photography class and captured an image of the Milky Way galaxy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of Muay Thai, would love to learn about your culture and passions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of laughs, embarrassing stories, a few words in a bunch of languages, and passion for living life outside your comfort zone.
