CURRENT MISSION

Experience! In all people, tastes, sights, sounds and all combinations thereof

ABOUT ME

I am still figuring it out. What I know so far is that I love: dancing, medicine, dumpling, Netflix, guacamole, travel, trying new things (especially food!), Spotify, cheese, bulldogs//dogs that snore more than I do. Let's connect!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know if it's possible to pinpoint "who you are" at any given moment- I believe we are dynamic beings rather than static. However, I think it's important to expose ourselves to different conditions, contrasts, cultures, knowledge and carve out who we want to BECOME, so that rather than "being" we are continually "becoming"- a more active process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
