I'd describe myself as kind and thoughtful, with a good sense of humor and appreciation for people. I can talk with anyone about anything

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great new people and learn about their lives. To stay with locals and make friends. I'm looking to host soon too!

Interests

I'm currently learning mandarin at the HSK4 level and do animal rights activism in my spare time. I would love to make this full time. I enjoy going to live comedy or music and meditate often. Nothing makes me happier than just some headphones and a music playlist.
