About Me

I'm a life-long learner who's currently dedicating her time towards photography / blogging. In general, I know a little about a lot. Have always had an inquisitive nature, and don't plan to stop anytime soon.

Currently working on a project called the kind stranger project. I interview people, strangers far and wide to talk, discuss, and share stories of kind strangers helping others.

I also really enjoy street photography wherever I am, so please share any local tips or advice!

Outside of meeting awesome people while traveling, I also enjoy exploring the food scene, music scene (live would be awesome). Always game to try anything once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never tried couchsurfing, and I finally have worked up the courage to try for it! I've always enjoyed meeting locals, and getting a sense of their perspective on living in a city and their insights. Learning from others through thoughtful discussion is the best!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A random tourist once shoved 1000 Euros into my hands to buy two bags from the Louis Vuitton flagship store in Paris. They maxed out on the number of bags an individual is allowed to buy. (Yes, there's a cap)

And I actually bought the two bags and handed the change back.

They thanked me, and they left. And that was it.
