I was born and raised in Thailand, but I am American. I just completed a two-year fellowship with Teach for China, where I spent my time teaching 7th grade English in a rural village.

I love to cook and recently discovered a passion for baking! I learned how to bake using a rice cooker, and I hope to find an oven to reach new sweet-tooth delight heights.

I'm an active person who likes to spend time doing outdoor activities.
-biking
-hiking
-running
-yoga

I want to continue my language learning, and begin a new one in the process. I am on a quest to continuously expand my 'to-read' list and could use some help in movie and TV show recommendations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find like-minded travelers who can swap crazy stories with me.

Before my stint abroad, I graduated from GWU and will be moving back to D.C. to work. Though I have some friends who stayed in the District, I hope to meet new people while I find more permanent housing.
