Hello! I am a 29-year-old traveling professional/nomad. I have been to quite a few countries, but the idea of “ichi-go ichi-e” stuck with me from Japan. That every moment, even couchsurfing encounters, are “once in a lifetime.” Especially if those encounters involve bottomless Mimosas, ramen, or perogis 😋

I have my Masters from the University of California, Riverside, having double majored in engineering and education.

Looking to expand my worldview by immersing myself in new cultures and dishes. Thank you, Anthony Bourdain.

Soy un joven que quiera crecer en su exposición al mundo y sus múltiples culturas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to share stories, worldly knowledge, and delicious Vegan meals with international travelers across the globe.

I love nature, reading, engaging in caffeine-induced conversations that are candid, and all outdoor activities. Science, psychology, business, social justice, and education are my go-to subjects.

• womens rights

• art museums
• craft beers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost my brand new iPhone in the Kamo River in Japan one week after losing my brand new iPhone at the Coachella Music Festival.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A vast knowledge of how to cook the best grilled cheese sandwiches, where to grab the best drinks in town, and a candid conversation about why America is number one. ( I’m joking about the last point. Not all Americans are that vain.)
