About Me

ABOUT ME

Currently in Saigon for a while! I’d love to meetup :)
--------

I love listening to other people's stories and vicariously experiencing different perspectives. Constantly trying to learn new things and become a professional amateur. I have a thin, lanky body that can't do handstands or cartwheels, but is always up for an outdoor adventure. I am always ready to spend a day laying on the grass and watch people in the passing.

I think a lot about art and design and probably use it as a framework to process my thoughts and experiences: the concept and dynamics of play. Curated and conditional design. What is necessary? What can be improved? Nice color palettes. The influence of design on non designers. Nonsense and using different frameworks to process a range of emotions!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

every person on this earth is capable of connecting positively with another person: whether it's through a shared adventure, a drink at the bar, or a smile in the passing.

Couch surfing makes me foolish and believe in a world where the human experience is enough of a reason to connect and that our differences are to be celebrated and shared.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Austin Texas. I was cautious as my cousin explained how the site works, but was dealt nothing but kindness and ice cream from a couple who lived in the city for years. I spent the night sleeping on a hammock in a tree filled with wind chimes and glass jars. It re sparked my faith in humanity.

I was also active in NYC Couchsurfing meetups and attended Burning Couch 2014. Both communities brought great memories and lasting friendships.

I'm in my early 20s and would like to travel and experience the differences the world has to offer. New experiences and senses. Different smiles
