I love to travel; in the past 12 years I visited nearly 40 states and 9 countries. I aim at exploring at least one new country each year. I enjoy art and visiting museums; my favorite art movements include Cubism, Russian Constructivism, German Expressionism (Kandinsky), and typography from Dada.

I enjoy digital photography, watching movies, going on hikes, road trips, cooking and dining out. I also enjoy reading about self-improvement, going to sporting events (NBA, MLB) and watching live shows such as Cirque du Soliel. I also enjoy learning different languages and learning about different cultures. I took two years of American Sign Language (ASL), started learning German + Tagalog, and I took a short class to learn Vietnamese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's exciting to meet new people, learn about their culture, and create memories and share great experiences with new friends.
