I'm on a backpacking trip in Asia since July 12, 2023.

I am very laid back. More of an observer than a speaker. Think a lot about everything. Inquisitive. I try to live life in a minimalist style. Own only the things I need. Most people find me shy at first but once you get to know me I'm pretty open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet different people and learn about their cultures.
