About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel. Travel. Travel.

ABOUT ME

I was born on what would have been John Lennon's 47th birthday, and yet I'm not named after his wife.

I like adding coca cola to red wine - a Spanish tradition I took home with me after my semester abroad. Some of my friends look down on me for it.

Hand me a map, and we will get lost.

I will hide in your bathroom if you have a dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met up for dinner and drinks with a couchsurfer on my second night in Hanoi. Dom gave me a lot of tips on how to figure out which street food to order and which taxi's to avoid if you don't wanna get ripped off. So it's fair to say couchsurfing helped me out big time during my first trip to Asia.
