I'm on a mission to explore Southeast Asia, starting in Cambodia! I love learning about culture, history, and language-- especially about countries that are very different from my own.

I grew up in northern California, in a small town surrounded by rice fields and walnut orchards.

For the past couple of years I worked in the state of Nevada making audio books for the blind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to meet friendly people from all over the world!
