CURRENT MISSION

Survive grad school. I'm passionate about continuously improving myself, and for me, that means learning as much as I can, exploring various new experiences, setting goals with my hobbies and seeing new places. I really enjoy spending time in unfamiliar cultures and that's why couchsurfing is so great!

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life positively and don't let things that I can't change bother me. The things that I can change I enjoy changing regularly. Win most, lose little.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a good number of folks when I lived in Vietnam. I look forward to hosting again when I am in a more stable living environment. Until then, I'm so grateful and excited to surf with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first ever surf was in Nova Scotia, Canada. It's actually a pretty wild story that I can tell you! Since then, I've surfed in Iceland, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Cambodia

Interests

Running, bouldering, throwing on the potters wheel, painting, camping, hiking, playing board games, slacklining, finding good beer, dancing, and most recently, I've taken up playing the banjo. I love it!
