ABOUT ME

Im a huge eco-freak, shameless granola with a love for baking and ethnic foods, the great outdoors, and traveling. You can find me in the kitchen at any hour of night, absentmindedly wandering around new parts of town, or singing/ dancing along to my new favorite song when I think no one's watching. Underneath a (somewhat) effective shell, I am super weird and silly, with a personal library of silly faces and noises that surprise even myself. I love people and intense long conversations over coffee or strolling. I have a deep passion and hope to, in my own way, save the world. I dream big, but take pleasure in the small things in life.

PHILOSOPHY

A good life is one that is shared and lived for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people and getting their personal accounts of their home towns is the best kind of traveling. And I hope to do the same for everyone coming to my corner of the world!
