Originally from Seattle but looking to be a lifelong expat: lived in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Singapore so far. I'm an entertainer and extrovert at heart. I'm deeply passionate about conservation and sustainable livelihoods, currently focusing on rural resilience in mangrove-dependent communities of Indonesia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
