I am a postgraduate student from California loves to travel, meet people, and experience new things. Always curious about life and learning about the idiosyncratic differences that make up this world.

I am on a mission to spread joy and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people and learn about their lives. I grew up in very open and welcoming household where it was commonplace to invite stangers and friends of friends to stay over. If there was a spare bed then it was taken so we would offer the couch. If the couch was taken, then we would pitch a tent in the backyard. Being open to strangers is how we learn in life. I think that Couchsurfing brings so much joy and connects people from all over the world in such a natural way.

Interests

Connecting with humans and nature through Acro yoga, hiking, anything outdoors, spoken word poetry, meeting new people, moving my body in creative ways, painting, writing, drawing...
