Overview
About Me
I grew up in a dusty desert town, and I've been a nomad craving for mountains ever since.
I appreciate art, architecture, language and history. I'm also an avid reader who likes to write and I scribble down poems whenever a muse presents itself for inspiration. I'm learning how to play the ukulele, and I enjoy impromptu jam sessions. I also love trekking - the forests, hills and mountains are my go-to places to visit whenever the opportunity presents itself.
I'm obsessed with experimenting in the kitchen, and I take pride in making the most with whatever is lying around in the pantry. I love learning new languages and exploring cultures, and I believe food is the ideal medium for people to bond and understand one another.
I also play basketball and table tennis.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe there's no point going to a place if you don't learn to live as the locals do.
I enjoy deep conversations, and would love to learn more about your thoughts, beliefs, passions and world views.
