ABOUT ME
I'm living in Taipei, taking classes in Mandarin Chinese. When I'm not in classes, I'm usually rock climbing, practicing yoga, reading, or meeting friends for language exchange.
I've been on the road quite a lot the past few years, taking on the world by experience. Before coming to Taipei I lived in India and Hong Kong.
My next adventure after Tokyo is to go back to India and get my yoga teaching certificate! Then it's off to Thailand for a quick vacation and back to the States:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'll be in Taipei for a few more weeks, and while I'm here I would love to meet up and show you around the city.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A friend and I CouchSurfed together in Hualien, Taipei, and met a lovely guy who showed us aboriginal music and drove us along the coast. It is a warm and great memory for both of us!
During college, I had a lot of fun hosting visitors. Once I fit ten people into my small college dorm room for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. It was a great chance to make new friends!
Interests
I love triathlons, half-marathons, yoga, dancing, and being outdoors. I'm a part of the startup community here in Taipei, and I love meeting entrepreneurs who are starting their own businesses and pursuing their passions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A few years ago, I went to a conference in Kuala Lumpur that had delegates from more than 100 countries. So much energy and passion!
