Just left Malawi after working there for a year.
Now onto Thailand > India > Nepal!

I work in Global Health. I love to travel and make new friends, go to concerts, hike, read books, drink beer, dance, and have a good time. Karaoke!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As someone who does solo travel pretty often, CS has been the best and most fun way to make friends along my journey, whether through meet ups or surfing. Food is one of the best parts of a new place, so I'd much prefer to share a meal or some drinks with new friends. I love to get advice on the best things to see and do and share my experiences as well. I feel like I have friends all over the world now! I'd love to host people once I get settled as well and I've shown some travelers around DC.
