About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Do life and do it well.

ABOUT ME
I am pretty easily amused. Inspiring-quotes junkie. I'm told I'm pretty animated.

PHILOSOPHY
I want to spread joy when I can, encourage if the opportunity presents itself, and hopefully inspire others to think a little deeper. (Cheesy, I know)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is such a neat way to meet others who are open to adventure and random friendships!
So far I've couchsurfed in Beijing and Portugal.

One day, when I have my own place, I hope to return the favour!

Interests

TRAVELING!
Running, hiking, and just being outside in general.
Photography.
Good coffee. Good coffee with friends is even better.
Craft beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music preference definitely depends on my mood, but I gravitate towards chill, acoustic, folk, and electronic (when I'm studying)
Usually have 4 or 5 books on the go, including text books at the moment. A good thinker-of-a-book I read recently was Humilitas by John Dickson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting up at the crack of dawn to climb Kala Patthar and attempt (failed) to get a view of Everest. Even though we didn't see Everest, every bit of the trek was worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

The kitchen is my spot, so I'd be happy to teach learn or share something food-related!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Joy and enthusiasm for life.
