Recently graduated and currently traveling in South America. When traveling, I'm more so interested in learning about a culture and society rather than attractions. I want to learn more about the world and myself as well. I prefer good conversation over basically anything else. I believe that there is something to learn, valuable takeaways, from ever place and every person. Born and raised in Brooklyn!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For beautiful human connection! I want to learn from local people, share ideas, and opinions, and to make cherished friendships to be more connected to the world.

Interests

I'm always trying to learn something new, and it means I have a lot of random hobbies and interests. One year it was fish keeping, another winter it was yo-yoing l. Muay Thai was a love that I found and has stuck with me since. I love cooking based on inspirations while traveling. Cooking and Muay Thai are two things I miss dearly while traveling.

• cooking
• politics
• hiking
• philosophy
• muay thai
• kickboxing
• good coffee
• sustainable technology

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been a contestant on a mini realty TV series in Thailand about Muay Thai. Got to train and travel around with buakaw, the most internationally recognized Muay Thai fighter ( he has some viral videos on the internet of him savagely kick down a banana tree. I can do the same :p).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an excellent Muay Thai teacher and we can cook together as well. I'd love to learn about a person's passion whatever it may be. My life has been very random thus far and I have lots of stories to share :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show off my cooking skills, I can teach you some basic fighting techniques if you don't know how to fight, and I can be a sparring partner if you do! We can offer each other great conversation over coffee or beer.
