I'm a culturally confused traveller who grew up half in the U.S. and half in Asia. I'm down to Earth and like to meet new people and explore new places. In my downtime I enjoy reading a good book, of which my friends supply a limitless amount of recommendations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because during my travels I want to meet locals and experience the real way of life of places I visit-- not what hotels and tourist shops think people want.

Interests

I enjoy reading books that bring a new perspective into my mind or allows me to feel like I have changed after reading it. I enjoy being outside, camping, hiking, traveling, and just meeting new people.

I enjoy learning about new subjects and understanding their importance in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn new languages, in particular, German and Spanish.

And I want to share the human experience with as many people as possible-- laughs and tears.
