About Me

Hey there! Nice to meet you.

I'm a Freestyling Backpacker: I love spontaneity, going on adventures, and rapping about my travels!

From 2019-2020, I quit my job and backpacked Asia for a year. In 2021, I intend to roadtrip across the USA!

My friends say I'm positive, energetic, spontaneous, bold, silly, nature-loving, free-flowing and dependable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet amazing people while minimizing the cost of travelling!

Interests

I love sports! I was a part-time sports broadcaster for several years, and even worked at Nationals Park as an usher and intern for a couple seasons. Love my DMV teams.

I'm into freestyle (off-the-top) rap, getting out into nature, meeting people, entertaining and hosting, and celebrating life!

Music, Movies, and Books

Rap/Hip-Hop: Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller (RIP), Anderson .Paak
Disco/70s: Commodores, KC & the Sunshine Band, Michael Jackson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Vietnam, I bought a motorcycle in Hanoi and drove by myself all the way to Saigon, over 2k kilometers. Took about 6 weeks, as I took my time along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to teach English, freestyle rap, and sports that I know! I know a few recipes I can cook too.

I'm learning guitar! I'd love to learn how to sing too. And I have so much to learn in terms of nature backpacking, farming, and cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, experiences, food, drink and laughter!
