It’s been a minute since I was on CS but I’m back! Currently bike touring across the southern US with a dear friend before I move to Mexico City in 2024

Forever a wanderer, I’ve always struggled to stay in one place for too long.

While in Austin for the last 10 years or so, I was in an inner journey of decolonizing my mindset and unlearning so much of what was forced on me as a child raised in the imperial core. Now it’s time to take this expanded version of myself back on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After several surfing experiences in the US, I moved to Taiwan and had a place where I could host surfers from all over. My ex and I also used couchsurfing during our travels and bike tours throughout Asia.

I love the connections I’ve made on CS and look forward to more!
