About Me

UX designer and entrepreneur exploring the world, film camera and watercolor notebooks in hand.

I love walking around in cities, hiking in the mountains, ziplining through the trees, and biking everywhere. I seek the unfamiliar, the alternative, the underground. I am your nonconforming traveler who stops to paint the flowers in a kitchen window because, well, one can simply search google images if one wishes to see the Eiffel Tower.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet people and see the world from their eyes while I'm traveling. and because staying in hotels is boring!

Interests

I love art, food, espresso drinks, craft cocktails, pasta, and more pasta.
I studied food systems, urban planning and cooperative business for my bachelors degree (yes, seriously), and became a user experience designer. ask me anything!
