I'm a global health changemaker turned art student/explorer/lifelong learner. I love connecting with open-hearted people, sharing and learning through conversation, basking in nature, experiencing art, challenging myself and continuously growing, and pondering what makes different cultures/societies of the world tick by strolling along the roads wherever I'm traveling or living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't couchsurfed yet, but when I do start couchsurfing, I'm looking forward to it being a fun, supportive way to experience the world's beauty by connecting with a global community of like-minded, open-hearted folks while traveling, exploring, and learning. :)

Teach, Learn, Share
