I'm a laid-back, open-minded college student on a never ending quest for adventure and opportunities to laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends! The more I've traveled the more I've realised that adventures are not defined by the distance you travel but by the people you meet.

Interests

I feel most alive when I am on the cusp of new discoveries. I am curious about anything and everything.

I am an avid foodie with an open mind (and mouth) who will try (almost) anything that's put in front of me.

I like to stay active, especially when traveling, and am enthralled by histolorical places, festivals, nature, or a good party. I am a scholar of Buddhist philosophy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the classics!

Movies: The Godfather, Napoleon Dynamite, Shaft, Eraserhead, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, or anything by Kubrick.

Books: The Wizard of Oz, Things Fall Apart, Heart of Darkness, Huckleberry Finn, Leaves of Grass.

Music: I have a newfound appreciation for Cumbia! I have a big vinyl record collection at home and some of my favourites are the Flaming Lips, Alice in Chains, Burning Spear, Curtis Mayfield, Kendrick Lamar, Charles Mingus, Carlos Antonio Jobim, Bob Dylan, Die Antwoord, and the list could go on and on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the Kumano Kodo trail in Japan

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently making an effort at learning Spanish and Japanese.

I love swapping stories and jokes with new friends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some easy-going company who is up for just about anything, whether it be a nice chat over coffee or a trek into the mountains.
