About Me

I am a third year university student trying to learn a little more about this vast world we all call home! I am more reserved, and love small group connections. I am a vegetarian with an incredible love for food, and the stories and traditions share when cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Everyone has a story to tell, and I would be honored to hear yours. I am currently studying abroad at Chiang Mai University (Thailand) and hope to learn more about the surrounding areas on weekends and breaks.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to indie/folk/alternative music, but love to try new music to match my mood (I love spotify for this!). I try to read about a book a month (non-fiction is my favorite), some recent choices have been The Alchemist (always a great read), The Interestings, and The Glass Castle. Broad City, Black Mirror and the occasional rom-com are my go-to netflix choices!

Teach, Learn, Share

> I am interested in sustainable living and food access and education. I work with a local non-profit farm back at home to teach underprivileged kids about farming and nutrition.

> I took a Thai Cooking Class as part of my curriculum during my semester in Chiang Mai University (Thailand). I would love to share some amazing food and lessons I've learned. Som Tum (papaya salad and green curries are my favorite!)
