Hi there!

I'm trying to get a feel for this great big world of ours, and hopefully make it a bit smaller along the way :)

I recently graduated college and am teaching/traveling in Asia this summer before moving to Chicago for work! I love to hike, camp, and do photography. Always down for a good book and a good drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm sort of new to couchsurfing- but on my last trip (a roadtrip down south) couchsurfing helped me meet some great people who really enriched my trip.

I am embarking on a 2 month trip to Asia where I will travel in Japan for 1.5 weeks and teach in China for 4 weeks before taking 2.5 weeks to travel through the region. I'd love to meet some people along the way and get some insider tips on what to do!

I'm currently trying to improve photography skills; my favorite subjects are architecture and street photography!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have any cool language skills myself, but I'm always happy them from others! If you'd like I'd be happy to take some photos of you if you need a new profile pic!
