I’m a vegan chef who has been Backpacking around the world for 5 months now. I majored in art in college in California and focused on photography and printmaking. I loved cooking in school and began teaching plant based cooking classes using sustainable produce from the farm that i helped intern on and carry this mindset and approach to cooking still. I am a extrovert and a Leo haha so I love meeting people and making new friends. Traveling really has shown me how to go with the flow and not book much and trust the process of where I will be in a few days or weeks! I started in Asia and now in Europe traveling. I love meeting new people from around the world and this opportunity to stay with someone sounds so fun/exciting and wholesome :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently found out about couchsurfing and really want to try it and have an experience staying with a local! Since i have also been traveling for awhile my budget has gotten smaller so this sounds like a great way for me to still travel and explore but at a more sustainable/affordable way.
