Hey! My name is Dae and I am from California. I have been traveling Asia for the past two years after selling all my things and buying a one way ticket outta here! I am now based in Sri Lanka but come back to the states periodically to see family and friends. I am easy going, spontaneous, happy-go-lucky, and open minded. I love travel, new experiences, live music, making friends, reading in my hammock, yoga, and being in water (in whatever way that manifests).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
