About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Meeting as many people, becoming fluent in several languages and having as many adventures as possible before I go to become a drone of Corporate America haha.

ABOUT ME

I just finished my bachelors in Finance this summer and working now in Orlando as a part of a rotational program. Ever since I came back from my study abroad in Germany, I've been dying to meet more of the CS community.

I also love children's books. I'm starting a collection titled "children's books around the world," if you want, help me grow it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After being in Europe and couchsurfing throughout, I'm here to meet as many people through the CS community to share stories and eventually host when my living situation is more defined. I'm dying to return the favor to my many friends of Europe.

Interests

Running, biking, exploring! I consider myself very active. But I also like drawing, listening to music and doing yoga from time to time. Outdoors, sunshine .. but honestly I'm keen for any sort of adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a 5 day road trip through Tuscany meeting as many couch surfers throughout the area as I could.

Camped a weekend through the Loire region of France.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to practice German! Or Spanish! I have this tendency to be very nervous when speaking both so please please help me get it out of my system! I'm obsessed with learning languages but for some reason when it comes to speaking it, I'm terrified! Haha, let's find a way to change that.

I love hearing travel stories. Storytelling is an ancient art that has been more or less lost in modern times.

I'm also a yoga fanatic and biking/hiking/trail enthusiast. I'd love to talk about secret trails nearby or even go on a hike with you. I'm not sure why I live in Florida since I'm in love hills... Mountains.. I guess it's the weather here in Florida that keeps me coming back.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook so if you want, I can definitely make dinner for you! I'm not a gourmet chef, but I love making Vietnamese food or Asian cuisine. I also make a pretty great carrot cake!
