a tiny drop in an infinite pool • looking to experience all the beauty I can while I'm on this spinning, blue globe! • I'm deeply passionate about leading an extraordinary sort of life and I live for new and untraditional experiences, friends, and places •

I'm a thoughtful, fun-loving, friendly, optimistic, and laid back sort of girl and as I get older I feel like I have learned to take life less seriously. At this point in my life, things for me are about being the best I can be in every area of life, to grow/challenge myself constantly, and above all, to HAVE FUN and create as much fun as possible for others!

Lover of red wine and coffee- I don't consume any other drugs, though.

Not a party animal these days, though I love going for a few drinks or even out dancing.

Just a genuine person, looking to connect with likeminded people.

•Life Philosopy•

we are on this planet for however many years we are blessed with, and it's essential to do the most you can with what you're given.

I don't remember where I found this quote, but I love it:

"life is a banquet and most dumb bastards are starving to death."

I'm wanting to collect as many experiences as possible from the buffet of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My living situation right now is temporary and shared, so I unfortunately cannot host guests, but as soon as I am able, I plan to give back what other members of this community have done for me!

I'm here to make unforgettable memories with awesome people, forge meaningful new connections, and meet likeminded souls.

Interests

nature, different cuisines, photography (extremely amateur), writing and playing music, being active, yoga, travel obviously, eating and drinking (because I'm a human being), making really horrible jokes and then cracking up at them

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read and I feel like it's a crime to choose favorites but some all-time standouts are:

The Color Purple
House of Spirits
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Big Magic
The Essential Rumi

Music and movies I can't even start on or this profile will go on too long, but I'm sure we can chat about it when we meet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to China on sort of a whim in 2015; started off as a teacher and ended up working as a singer-a lifelong dream of mine. funny how life works!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing music with people- and if you can play an instrument we will get on very well. I love to sing and love accompanying pianists/guitarists/etc.

Generally speaking, we all have things to teach and learn from one another, and it's different for each person you encounter. So let's see what unique exchange we end up having ✨

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversation. I'll be your personal tour guide when you come to my city, and honestly, I think my company is pretty damn great.
