ABOUT ME

I am a 22 year-old english teaching assistant in Malaysia. I love to travel, go to concerts, cook, play guitar, try different beers, and read the news.

At my University, I was on the water ski team, I led our Model United Nations group, I volunteered at a greenhouse, and I worked as an advocate for students within student government.

Now, I'm an English Teaching Assistant in the Fulbright program, imparting proper grammar and American culture on Malaysian high school students.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to experience and to contribute

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had amazing experiences couchsurfing through Thailand, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. It's an amazing platform for meeting local people and traveling on the cheap. I've only hosted once in Santa Barbara, California, but I'm excited to share my corner of Malaysia with any travelers.
