I'm originally from Southern California but just finished up the past few years working in Asia, and now working on a Master's degree in Humanitarian Action. Generally easy going and low-key, I like to read, keep up with politics, travel, and grab a beer with friends in my free time.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

So many solo female travelers have recommended this site to me, so I feel reassured of its ability to start great friendships with open and interesting people from all over. Sometimes you learn more about a place from one conversation than you do from any museum or guide book.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Plucked and counted 12,000 coconuts, then drank one.

Took down a tent at night during a typhoon with a flashlight in my mouth, threw it on the back of a motorbike, and spent the night in a shipping container.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I like learning about the politics, history, and lifestyles of different people.

I make pretty good Asian food -- usually Thai or Vietnamese.
