About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Satisfying my curiosity and thirst for knowledge about this big, wide world through meeting great people and visiting new places.

ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first couchsurfing experience was in Turkey with a veteran surfer! I was hesitant at first, but her enthusiasm, along with our amazing hosts won me over. I think the attitudes of mutual trust and sharing, between surfers and hosts are what I admire the most. It is a mindset which I want to support within the the couchsurfing community and share with others outside the CS project as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most beautiful experience was watching the sun set and moon rise over the Aegean Sea, from the ruins of a Greek temple, with a couple friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've experience in teaching English as a second language and doing archaeological work in Mongolia. Currently, I am a library associate in Adult Services at a public library. I create programming, organize guest speakers, and do tech training sessions with patrons. And I enjoy listening and learning from others' life experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

home made pickles from my garden and good conversation.
