just a kid tryna make it all make sense, experience good, and find joy on the way.

I’m a 6’1” bespectacled Leo with a love of learning and passion for intercultural understanding, cultures, and languages. And I’m an ambivert.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people rather than be the stereotypical, exploitative tourist. People often have more to offer than the cold setting of a hotel. I'd rather get to know the city I'm visiting/staying in from a local's perspective.

Interests

I love traveling and I love languages. My top hobbies are reading, sleeping, and cooking.

• culture
• dancing
• cooking
• reading
• traveling
• music
• languages
• sleeping
• exploring
• hanging out

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interest is best described as "eclectic." I can usually get down to anything but truly inane country or screamo/head-banging rock.

Movies? I love musicals, Disney, action/adventure, and historical settings, etc. For example, I adore Mulan (1997) Hello, Dolly!, the Ocean's series, and the Bourne saga.

As for books, I love all books but prefer action/adventure/fantasy type of fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

White-water rafted the Nile. Hugged a baby elephant. Fed giraffes. Pet a wallaby in the wild. Slept for 20hrs straight. Finished 3 degrees.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to learn anything and everything about cultures, languages, and countries! Especially love learning about food, so v open to cook/try new cuisines from your country.

I am ethnically diverse and was privileged to be raised amongst indigenous peoples and in a melting pot of cultures and rich histories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Who I am, where I come from, stories from travels, experiences, and my cultures. Seems a bit me-centered lol but I’m an open book so let’s just have a good yarn yeah?
