Hi,

I'm a 26 year old recently funemployed traveler. I was working in New York City until one day I woke up and realized I needed to let go of most of what I had, pack everything else into a backpack, and see more of the world than I ever had before. Ever since, I've absolutely fallen in love with new places, new adventures, new languages (aka attempting to study Korean) :) Currently making my way across Europe after a few months stint in East and SE Asia. I, unfortunately, haven't used couch surfing yet, but hope to start now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People. Stories. Exploring. But, more importantly, inspiration.

Interests

• traveling
• hiking
• nature
• museums
• adrenaline junkie

Music, Movies, and Books

This question always stumped me... It puts me on the spot so I'll let you know what I’ve most recently read: A Long Way Gone and Memoirs of a Geisha :)
