About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible and get to know ppl from all over the world!

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone!

Moved to the DC Metro area in 2012 and I am loving it! I work for a global trade management company as a trade specialist dealing with international trade compliance.

I graduated from an MA program at Gotheburg University Sweden... I moved back to the States after having lived abroad for several years. I have driven cross-country from California to Ohio and started another MA in Southeast Asian Studies which wasn't for me (Ohio sucks!) and then continued to Virginia.

I have lived around the world: Germany, Israel, USA, China, Sweden, and Vietnam...

I love traveling and have been to many part of the world. My top destination to return to is Malaysia and Indonesia!

I love scuba-diving :P And have recently begun rock-climbing.

I am a very social person and I love going out and having fun. Also big into the gym which is my second home... I love learning about peoples backgrounds and traditions, languages and cultures. :)

I am laid back and friendly, witty and sometimes crazy! I love to cook and eat well.

PHILOSOPHY

Just Do It!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a guy from Germany and another girl from Switzerland. Both times we had a good time. Went out for some drinks, hung out with my couch buddy friends, showed them around the tourist spots :)

There are also some couch-surfing events where I have met some cool new friends! :D
