Hey there! I recently moved back to America after living in Shanghai for 7 years. I loved my time in Asia - the spicy food, the many cultures, the incredible hospitality. Now that I'm back in America, I've been traveling through the West Coast trying to figure out where I want to end up. I'm looking to begin a PhD in Clinical Psychology at some point within the next few years, and am particularly interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

...I spent all my money in Asia and am trying to make it back to DC without spending beaucoup bucks. Would love to meet some really fun people here!

Interests

I'm just generally about having great times with good people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading a book on why we should never lie, and recently finished a book on the science of psychedelic drugs. Always down to watch a good movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to 47 countries so far, but that's not really one thing, is it. Ever since going to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, I've vowed to go to every single World Cup that I can from here on out. Best party I've ever had the pleasure of attending. So, it's not amazing yet, but it will be?

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about most things - always down for a conversation, especially when I get to learn something new.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some funny anecdotes? I make excellent avocado toast and salads, if you're into that sort of thing. Happy to help you with any document-editing tasks if that would be helpful; semicolons are my specialty.

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, Netherlands, United States
