About Me

Currently taking time to travel around the world so I haven't been able to host.

I am a travel addict that wants to go around the world. I feel like there is so much to see in the world and not a lot of time. I live a pretty simple life and am not materialistic. I enjoy admiring the little things and subtle things in my life. I always enjoy meeting new people and making new friends. I aspire to have financial freedom so that I can travel more.

I just recently got back from traveling to over 10 countries in the past 6 months and now I'm ready to continue to explore. During the times I'm not traveling, I enjoy hiking, drawing, swimming, exploring, laughing, and playing badminton. I even grow my own vegetables to eat cause it's honestly pretty therapeutic and I guess it is healthy.

I think all animals and wildlife are really cool and especially love herpetology. I am also passionate about environmental causes. I think humans have a responsibility to carry out more sustainable lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was hesitant at first but I've come to make a lot of meaningful friendships. It's amazing how different the perspective changes when you view from the shoes of locals. I have learned a lot of new things and am super interested to continue learning about new things and about different cultures. I want to experience different things and step out of my comfort zone.
I hope to learn but also to hopefully share my own experiences!
