My name is Dory (like the fish), and for the past two months I've been living in Taipei, Taiwan. I've been looking forward to traveling more and documenting my travels throughout Asia. I run a travel blog and love to take photos throughout my travels (if you're interested it's dorynfine.com). Anything creative is something I'm interested in. Oh yeah, I'm lesbian and I have a girlfriend, so I hope that's not a problem. Her name is Rachel.

Anyway, I love the outdoors, but I can also appreciate cityscapes. I'm pumped to be seeing the world before I settle down into a job (hopefully not behind a desk) next year when I graduate. One cool fact about me is that I can breakdance, which most people find surprising because I'm pretty short, only about 5"2.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meeting new people- a generic opening phrase, but it's very true. I tend to strike up conversations with people wherever I go, and I've made some of the greatest friends that way. I hope to meet new friends along the way and that's why I'm excited to join Couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Pinegrove, the Front Bottoms, Drake, Real Friends, Jeremih, and lately I've been listening to Lil Pump. I listen to everything except for country, which most people find ironic because I'm originally from Texas.

Favorite TV Show: Stranger Things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Make room for activities"

Teach, Learn, Share

I've hugged a baby panda (an actual, living panda) before and I can help you do it too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to exchange travel stories, tips, and I can always take free high-quality photos with Photoshop and send them to you! :)
