I'm originally from California (SF Bay Area), but have been moving my way around the world for school, work, and adventures. Very social and outgoing once I'm comfortable, and I love meeting new people. I guess I'm a bit adventurous and really enjoy learning, doing, and eating new things. I'm also an avid rock climber and love being outdoors!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm sort of a traveling bum right now, so I don't have a place to host any longer. I may be looking to crash on a couch somewhere or grab a beer with new people. I also just want to meet new people who are chill and have a positive attitude!

Interests

I like traveling internationally, eating/cooking good/new foods, drinking good beer, rock climbing, and at times just being lazy on the couch watching some Netflix. My idea day is a full day of rock climbing, followed by a dip in a swimming hole, then a nice dinner, and ending with good conversation and laughs over beers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love horror movies, but I'm pretty open. My nightly routine is to fall asleep to a TV show that I am very familiar with (i.e., Bob's Burgers, American Dad, Archer, and a couple others).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just spent the last two years on a fellowship in Beijing working with local pre-service and in-service language educators. I've also climbed in many amazing places around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an applied linguist, so we can talk about language learning and teaching? I'm also a rock climbing enthusiast, so I looove talking about rock climbing. I can share stories about my last two years working, living, and climbing abroad in Asia. I'd love to hear about your local culture and your travels!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations over beers? IDK, I can also show you the ropes for rock climbing.
