I've recently settled in Guangzhou, China. Before that, I was in Hong Kong for 4 months. And before that, Philadelphia. But, I started out under the big lights of NYC.

Growing up, I never thought about traveling deeply. Since arriving in Asia, all that has changed!

I've fostered a love for travelling to all parts of East and Southeast Asia. An avid reader of history, politics and philosophy, I've found that recent travel experiences have sparked deeper appreciation of these subjects. I learn from chatting with people worldwide and observing how they live their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My college housemate in Philadelphia hosted couchsurfers. Through her, I had a great time meeting people from all over the world.
