I’m 19, born and raised in Northern California. I’m currently traveling around Asia, visiting friends and experiencing different places. I’ve grown up outdoors and value time with nature, but am learning to adjust to a big city and absolutely loving it. I’m vegan, and am pretty strict about that, but have no problem finding options for myself and cooking on my own.

I started my trip around Asia on New Years in India, and have no plans of stopping. In a little while I hope to find some work in Vietnam and settle down for some time, and since I haven’t come across anything I haven’t liked so far so I’ve got a lot of faith in a happy future, whatever, wherever, and whenever that may be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m traveling around Asia solo, and am hoping that Couchsurfing helps me meet people and find interesting, more affordable places to stay (when I’m not staying with friends).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, and while I do only make vegan food, I’m always happy to do so. I’ll also happily pitch in with anything around the house to make my stay easier for everyone. I’m a casual musician (guitar and ukulele) and I’ve recently been enjoying some drumming. Let’s jam!
