I’m a calm but spirited person with an appetite for adventure—physical or intellectual.

Some of the many things I enjoy are traveling, swimming, yoga, fitness, cooking, researching, and writing.

I think there are very few things as precious as harmony between people—whether in the form of a great talk or shared silence.

I hope this much gives a sense and I'm sure time will reveal all the valuable things :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The CS community has made my travels all the more exciting and fulfilling. New perspectives, local insights, great talks, and times to cherish :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

Intercultural exchange, wit, and a slight sense of humor should do --if not some additional drinks and food on the dinner table.
