I'm a math teacher turned artist, currently residing in NYC and traveling at every opportunity!

I love backpacking, painting, experimenting in the kitchen, having friends over, playing with dogs, meeting new people, being the first one up in the morning, cooking for my drunk friends at 2 am, checking out too many books at once, and making my bed every single morning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was skeptical at first... but couchsurfing truly brings out the very best in the things I love most about traveling. I love experiencing a new place with locals, and love even more sharing unique moments with those like-minded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a marathon on the Great Wall of China in 2019, which I absolutely do not recommend haha.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Korean drinking songs, how to Salsa, my go-to vinyasa flow, and how to pack a week's worth of travel in a backpack.

I can share with you deep conversation about the stars, the atoms, and everything in between at 2 am over a glass of wine.

I can promise I am eager to learn from humans all over the world and count couch surfing as a wonderful opportunity and blessing.
