About Me

I'm going through a transition in my life right now. I started a new career in editing and writing recently and will be trying to travel as much as I can, especially now that I have a flexible job where I can work anywhere in the world. I love traveling and seeing new places, so I intend to visit as many countries as I can in my life.
I write about traveling on my travel blog, and I've finished my first novel that I started writing last November. I hope to publish my novel within the next year as an eBook. Stay tuned for the release date! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring new cultures, learning new languages, eating authentic dishes, documenting my travels with photography and journal entries, and meeting locals through couchsurfing of course!

I attended many couchsurfing meeting and events when I was living Bangkok, Thailand, as well as when I visited the UK and France. I loved meeting new people! I have been staying with many CH hosts while I travel that have become friends, and I am so happy that we had such good times exploring and having fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all music, I don't like limiting myself.
My favourite movie is Amelie.
My last read was I'm Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham. I don't have a favourite book, there are too many that I like! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in Thailand teaching English at a school between the jungle and rice paddies, and then taught drama and art in an art school in Bangkok. The whole trip took about 18 months back in 2009-2010, and it was an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for my job; editing and writing. I also share my travel experiences and try to inspire others to travel. I'm always excited to learn new things wherever I go and I love meeting new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you need anything edited while I'm there, let me know. I'm also good at painting and many creative pursuits!

I love cooking and would love to help make a meal with my hosts with a glass of wine and some good music. I'm also a very clean person, and I make sure to clean up after myself! :)
