My goal is to visit every sovereign nation in the world. I am currently on 125 and counting! I want to see and explore as much as possible. I love new destinations, cultures, dances, and adventures. Some of my favorite experiences traveling have been at homestays, village walks, cultural experiences, and interacting with locals. I would love to explore together! Let's make the most out of the life we have!

P.S. I am new to couchsurfing. I have heard a lot about it from friends especially when I was living and working in Japan on the JET Programme. I have hosted friends and travelers, but I do not currently have a place of my own (I just graduated and am on the job hunt). When I do though, you are welcome to come visit! I would love to show you around my area, give you some history, and make sure you try plenty of local food! I also love to cook and bake!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I often travel solo and I want to meet up with people, chat with them, learn about their life, and explore their country together. When I host, I want to do the same for people. Every weekend I am exploring somewhere new, why not go together?
