I'm in the 5th and hopefully final year of bachelor's degree. It's sad, but I'm ready to get on with the rest of my life.

My most recent trip was to Japan in May. I'll be living in New York this fall on a study abroad, and after I graduate I hope to backpack through Europe and brush up on French in Quebec, all before moving to Ho Chi Minh City semi-permanently.

I write. I eat a lot. When I travel, I gravitate to galleries and public transportation. I love crowds as long as I'm not standing in front of them. I'm a cat person who could be allergic, but am still in denial. I think board games are almost as fun as video games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see traveling as a way to meet people, get advice, and share stories. I've only just begun my adventures, so I hope that meeting locals will give me some insight into the spirit of every place I go.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot, from a lot of genres. Science-fiction and fantasy were my first loves. I'll dance to whatever's on, but I'd play indie pop and R&B if you give me an aux cable. I really enjoy movies. My favourites are "In the Mood for Love" and "An Education".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate Michelin Star ramen in Tokyo. The best part was waiting in line with salarymen, couples and teenagers as the sun went down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I write, so I'd love to surf with a writer and talk process and projects and downer endings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good listener. I can also offer my near-encyclopedic knowledge of post-2000s celebrity gossip, limited cooking skills, dish washing services, and the ability to say "Let's go!" to any show/restaurant/museum/landmark/rock you want to share.
