I’m a travel lover who has spent the last few years hopping around six of the seven continents, soaking up as much as I can. I love talking with people about their home countries as well as their own travel experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from the host city. I love meeting people in hostels, but they’re also tourists! I’d love to know more about places through the eyes of people who live there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much to name! Though I’m always obsessed with Frank Ocean, thriller/horror movies, collections of Stephen King short stories, and gender theory.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked up to see the sun rise over the Alishan mountains in central Taiwan - it was mystical!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about anything and everything! My main motivation for all of my travel is the ability to learn from others. I live to understand other people’s experiences and engage in mutual sharing of perspectives. Life is boring without diversity of thought, culture, and opinions, so I strive to engage with as many different individuals as my introverted brain can handle!
