About Me

I grew up near Seattle then moved there for 5 years. My mom is from Hong Kong my dad is American.

I have been hopping about the world with my boyfriend for around three years now.

I enjoy the outdoors, it's my favorite place to be. The more remote the better in my opinion. I like hiking whether it be a day hike or long distance hiking and backpacking. The most rewarding experience I've had in my life was hiking two months across the desert in California. It was a massive challenge and I loved every moment, even the painful ones. My favorite activity though is rock climbing. Indoor bouldering and outdoor sport climbing are what I do most.

I absolutely love the art of cooking but I'd say I'm mediocre at best. I'm a vegetarian but occasionally will indulge in sustainabley sourced seafood.. so I guess that makes me a pescatarian :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A bit of travelling experience has taught me that it is a much more enriching and organic experience to get to know the locals.. we will see how this couch surfing thing goes I have heard good and bad!
