A curious, compassionate traveler with enough regrets to say yes to most things and enough sense to have plans B-Z just in case. Spicy food love was amplified by living in Asia, appreciation of diverse cultures grows when I host interesting people, and love for the planet we share deepens through reading good books.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Enjoy hosting others. Rescued a stranded traveller after our ferry was canceled and ended up meeting the best chef in Nantucket. Once squeezed my family of four into a tiny manhattan studio and had a fantastic time together. Now I am located in Point Roberts, WA (border town to Vancouver, BC), and feel I have a second childhood. So much to discover and explore in the great outdoors. As a city-dweller all my life, I have hit so much firsts in this year living here

First
cliff dive
competitive mountaineering
camping (yes, first adult camping)

Sharing this joy and travelling around but always grateful to go home.

Cambridge: Made my first sourdough over the quarantine.

Vancouver: Paddleboarded to a private island to do backflips into the ocean
