I am currently 100% nomadic, spending 6 months at a time working onboard cruise ships as a youth counselor, and the rest of my time travel around the world! My main base camps (as my family likes to call them) are currently Vancouver, Seattle, and Taipei 😊

For me, moving around and traveling are when I feel most at home. I love meeting other travelers are sharing stories and getting new ideas for future trips! Looking to meet new friends in new places ♥️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends

Interests

Hiking if there's the promise of a great view, walking around a new city and getting lost, eating good food, and almost anything involving water (paddle boarding, swimming even though I'm a terrible swimmer, snorkeling, kayaking..etc)

When I travel, I always bring a sketchbook with me to make illustrated journals on the road 📖

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Harry Potter, most books by Margaret Atwood, reading books set in cities that I'm traveling to, mysteries, historical fictions, and nonfiction biographies or stories of historical events. But mostly Harry Potter ⚡️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed to the top of Mt. Fuji just in time to see the sunrise

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be an English teacher, and I also speak mandarin, so I'm happy to practice either of those languages with anyone who's learning!

I love learning about other peoples interests and hobbies, especially obscure things I wouldn't be exposed to otherwise 😊 who knows? I might discover a new passion! I've also studied German and Japanese in the past, so it'd be nice to chat with people who speak either one

One of my favourite things about traveling is meeting other people and sharing our home cultures as well as our travel stories and experiences!
