About Me

Inquisitive is the word I’d use to describe myself because it’s only the core trait that I can accurately say has persisted since childhood. I love to travel (obviously), love to meet new people, love to eat, love to dance, and can’t go a day without being active in some way.
I do enjoy my quiet time and my alone time. Never take a safe space for granted. Could talk your ear off about politics or philosophy. I’d like to become a halfway decent photographer. You got any pro tips you let me know please.
From Whittier, California but I’ve been out of the US for four years now. Lived in Seongju, Korea near a city called Daegu for one year, spent some time in Seoul, then hopped over to Shanghai, China and spent 3 long years there. Spent a lot of time in Melbourne, Australia as well.
As of now I’m doing some open ended traveling all over East and Southeast Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get off the beaten travel track and meet people who may necessarily have to enter my life. Always enjoy seeing what/how locals (or people living in the area) do/feel/live in that particular place.

Climbed the Great Wall twice but if that’s not amazing enough I’m currently traveling throughout all the provinces and autonomous regions of mainland China. My goal is to get to every region and meet all 55 ethnic minorities.

Teach, Learn, Share

Die with memories not dreams

A dreamer is one who can only find their way by moonlight and their curse is that they see the dawn before the rest of the world

He who looks outward dreams, he who looks inward awakens
