About Me

ONLY SERIOUS REQUESTS, THANKS!

I am easy-going and open-minded.
I enjoy meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I believe every person is unique and special in their own way; no matter who you meet, they will always have something to offer and something they can teach you.
I love animals, sports and outdoor activities. I also like eating, especially cheese and chocolate! I miss good, affordable cheese and chocolate now that I am in Taiwan.

I hate: winter, bugs, bigotry, whipping cream, Monday mornings, waiting for traffic lights to turn green...

I have been doing 'castells' (human towers) since 2014. I'd be happy to share my knowledge about this amazing tradition with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping on the Great Wall and enjoying the sunset and sunrise from one of the watchtowers. Yes, it's illegal, but it's one of the best things I've ever done!
Surfing in Malaysia and Taiwan (actual surfing, besides couchsurfing).
Sleeping on a hammock under a porch roof in the middle of the jungle during a tropical summer storm in Malaysia.
