About Me

CURRENT MISSION

makin' it through college and seeing the world!

ABOUT ME

Let's see...I consider Tokyo, Japan home, but I also grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia and Los Angeles, California, and went to an international school for middle/high school. Now I go to Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. The net result: I'm a mumbo-jumbo of all sorts of fun things.

Here's a list of things I love in life:
I love laughing till it feels like my abs are going to fall off. I love stepping on crunchy leaves. I absolutely love the outdoors. I love cuddling in my bed when it's cold out. I love sunshine and a good healthy tan. I wish summers were endless. I love singing in the bath because it makes me sound like a better singer. I love my family and friends. I love black and white pictures. I love standup comedy. I love road trips...and lots and lots and lots of other things.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for those moments when you just can't stop grinning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed quite a few couches while in Europe and it was wonderful! I guess the next step is to get my own place and start hosting :) I can´t wait!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie, looking to experience my first couch surfing this summer!

Interests

I'm a science nerd. I have a love-hate relationship with biochemistry. I enjoy good runs and long rallies in tennis. I could spend all day trapezing. Also backpacking, kayaking, rafting, climbing, skiing, wilderness medicine, anything outdoors including backcountry pooping. AND OF COURSE, TRAVELING!!!
