I’m a queer artist from STL and love anything outdoors. A solo traveler who is taken, but would love to share a beer or meal with someone over good conversation! I have tattoos and a pet dove named Coconut.
Pokémon was a big inspiration for me as far as traveling, adventures and meeting new people goes!

I traveled abroad to Japan for two semesters and from there I visted Thailand on new years 2017, met my family in Korea for the first time in 18 years and after I left Japan, I visited a friend in Canada and then stayed with another friend in Colombia for three weeks!! It was a crazy packed year, but totally worth every second.

I come from a military family, so we've traveled around quite a bit when I was younger.

Also love Latin dance!! I’m no expert, but I can basic my way through salsa, bachata and merengue!

Sorry I don’t have any references or verification! Please feel free to look me up or let’s have a convo via video chat!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join the community with the hopes of meeting new people when I travel! I’ve never really experienced anything like this, so I thought it would be a fun change from the usual hostels, air b&b, and hotels.

Not to mention traveling on a budget of course haha :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of non-fiction. Mainly self-improvement books and anything that has to do with art. Also love biographies.
My taste for music is pretty all over the place. I grew up with a punk rock dad and a mom who likes old Korean songs as well as hip-hop/Zumba stuff.. lately I’ve been into r&b and soul. I’ll be going to Afropunk this August to get my fix of that.
