Hello! I am an artist of many mediums— particularly risograph, printmaking, digital and traditional illustration, and a tea ceremonialist studying Chinese tea culture. I have a deep love and respect for tea and want to travel the world learning more about culture, hospitality, and 功夫茶 and share my passion for it with others! Currently training under a tea master in NYC!

I have a love for all things ancient and beautiful. I love history, art, philosophy, fashion and design. I also love tattoos, music, and reconnecting to nature.

mostly just want to travel, humble myself, leave my ego and limiting beliefs behind, and experience the world fully.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to explore the world, open my heart to meeting new people, and share ideas and culture!

I am an independent traveler but also enjoy company and guidance. I am quiet and at times shy, others I can be vibrant and passionate. I am pretty mellow all-around. Open mind and happy for company.

Travelled to 3 countries on my own when I had never done so before. It was very new for me!
