Overview
About Me
Hello! I'm a lover of food, traveling, people, interesting conversations, and adventures.
I study International Relations at a university in China and try to travel as much as my time and bank account will afford. I have lived in Morocco, Jordan, Austria, Belgium, and China.
I love learning about other countries, cultures, and languages and have a curiosity to learn more about the world through the eyes of others. One of my favorite things to do in any city is just to walk around and take in all the sites (and eat new types of food).
I also enjoy doing active things like sports and being outdoors in any capacity. I love to dance, and I have a special afinity for rooftops, nighttime, and sunsets.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've heard it is a great resource not only for traveling but for meeting up with people in new places! So far it has put me in contact with many wonderful, generous individuals with similar passions and interests.
PSA for Men 🚨 - I do not use couchsurfing as a dating app and am not interested in meeting people who are using it to find dates. Please do not assume because we have met through couchsurfing that I am interested in you romantically!
