ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm a 28 year-old former Peace Corps volunteer currently living and working in Shanghai. I served in Uvurkhanghai, Mongolia from 2008-2010, and I'm looking to come back at the end of my Shanghai tour to reconnect with old friends and travel around the country. I'd love to come out and spend a couple days in Arvaikheer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I speak Mongolian fluently, so I'm not one of those surfers who needs babysitting in the markets =) I also know how hard it is to be a PCV in Mongolia, so I'd love to help out with groceries and supplies, etc. Beyond that, I'm super excited to meet new people and hear about their experiences living abroad!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted around 15 surfers when I was living in Mongolia, but this will be my first time surfing myself!

Interests

I enjoy travel, painting, learning foreign languages, snowboarding, dogs, hiking, books, movies, talking to people, current events, politics, and food!
