I'm a 22 year-old Sri Lankan-American raised in Singapore. I've had the privilege of visiting 40 countries, and I hope that list keeps growing. Currently working at a hostel in Hualien, Taipei, but in the process of planning my trip to South America

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After doing Workaway a few times, I realized how much more authentic your cultural experience is when you spend time with a local. I don't see a better way to experience a culture than to spend time with someone who is constantly immersed in it.

Interests

Says it all right there, if you want to talk about any of those things (or share your hobbies), I'm always down.

• movies
• music
• jazz
• hiking
• baseball
• boxing
• mountain biking
• football

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorites are John Mayer, Avicii, and Nat King Cole (a little all over the place), but I listen to pretty any and everything. Movies is kinda the same, but I'm a sucker for a good sports movie (Remember the Titans, Glory Road, etc.). My favorite book ever is the Alchemist. Give it a read if you haven't.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This past June, me and two of my best friends hopped in a car and went on a 5,500 mile road trip for around the Western US and Canadian National Parks. Probably the best camping trip/trip I've ever taken.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new things. If you have something you're passionate about I'm down to listen. From my end I can teach you about the places I've been.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've had a pretty cool opportunity being a Third Culture Kid (
