I'm a recent college grad with a bachelor's in Psychology from the University of California at Davis. I loved earning it; brains are super fascinating.

I play a lot of nerdy board games and spend too much time on the internet. I love horses, and have spent some of my favorite days exploring Northern California on horseback, about 20 or so miles at a time.

Adventure is a the spice of life, and as such, I love exploring new places, hiking, trying and cooking new foods, and learning about most anything strange. I'm restless all the time and love whimsy and novelty.

My favorite thing in the world is a good conversation with someone I really click with. I love coffee, music, food, art, design, exploring the outdoors, and photography. I have a weakness for islay scotch. I'm a huge nerd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet new people from a variety of places and am hoping to stretch the travel budget of both myself and others. Unfortunately, I can't host right now as i'm in the process of moving to a new country (Taiwan!) but hopefully soon!

Interests

I love hiking, photography, horseback riding, exploring new places, hiking, trying and cooking new foods, and learning about most anything related to cultures or social sciences. I'm restless all the time and addicted to whimsy and novelty.
