I'm a young professional living in the Bay.

Four words to describe myself: sweet, imaginative, playful, intellectual.

Conversation is a simple pleasure of life. A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am driven to explore the world we live in, particularly through food and language. Huge lover of the arts - music, dance, poetry, literature, architecture, painting, sculpture, theater, fashion. Curious about different ways of approaching life throughout the world.

I enjoy soaking up new environments; this could include walking around, engaging in conversation, or simply sitting and observing.
