I recently graduated from Simon Fraser University where I earned by Bachelor of Business Administration. I went straight to university from high school and straight into a job after university and am looking to shake things up a bit. I'm half Indonesia and made it my goal to travel there before I was 25. This coupled with the fact that a couple of my best friends are travelling Asia made my decision to quit my job and buy a one way ticket pretty easy!

I am an enthusiastic person with a great sense of adventure. I love getting off the beaten path, meeting new people and creating authentic experiences and connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As the famous saying goes, "carpe diem". The circumstances above have laid ground for the perfect storm to gain some valuable life experiences. I am looking for the chance to break some bread with some new people; crack some beers and some smiles, share stories and create new ones.

I'll be starting my journey in Nepal and working my way through Asia and down to Indonesia. I would love to pop a squat on your couch along the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am a sucker for folk music, the twangier the better but also enjoy to ever dominating hip-hop scene that is happening right now.

Movie: You'll probably find me watching a comedy, or more specially a Rom-Com, on a lazy Sunday. 'Definitely, Maybe' takes the cake, while Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy steal the show in 'Lawless'.

Books: Gary Paulsen's 'Hatchet' is my favorite book based solely on the number of times I've done a book report on it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you'll accept me as a guest and you're lucky, I might share the story of the tattoo that you see in my third picture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A positive attitude, a big smile, a sense of adventure and hopefully some great stories to share together over some dinner and beers! I jump on the opportunity to explore new places and am always down to experiment in the kitchen.
