About Me

CURRENT MISSION

eat responsibly, cycle fast, and love deeply

ABOUT ME

Always seeking opportunities to learn about the world, get involved in whatever community I live in, and (hopefully) leave a positive impact.

I love meeting new people and appreciate any kind of cultural exchange.

I'm currently based in Seattle, Washington, USA. I'm happy to share stories and give advice about the Pacific NW, a place I love dearly :)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to pursue a variety of career and personal experiences, hoping to become well-rounded in both skill and knowledge. I believe that to understand the world and its people, I need to immerse myself in different cultural situations, and it's this belief that leads me around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm pretty new to this whole CS scene, and unfortunately don't have a place to host guests at the moment. But I'd be glad to meet up in Seattle!
