I am a recent UCLA graduate who is spending a gap year working in research and global health. I love outdoor adventure, cooking, exploring new places, and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and am eager about the prospect of making friends around the world. I think the best experiences I have had while traveling have happened when a local is showing me what the "real" city is like!

Interests

I am very active and love to hike, swim, try new foods, cook, do yoga, and travel.

• cooking
• yoga

Music - alternative rock
Movies - anything Tarantino, especially Pulp Fiction (my favorite movie), Pixar
Books - East of Eden, Russian novels, thrillers - particularly Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sea kayaked the Na Pali coast in Kauai - 17 miles of untouched coastline!

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel like I somehow accumulated a lot of random facts throughout my life - if you have a trivia night at a local bar, I'll share them!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and will make a meal as a thank you. I like to think I'm a friendly person who loves to hear about your stories and interests!
