CURRENT MISSION

To explore as much of the world as possible in order to be an impactful global citizen. Also to eat the weirdest foods I can find.

ABOUT ME

I love adventures, learning about new cultures (I devour museum placards) and the night life. I'm very clean, organized and love to cook!

Been doing sports all my life with most of my time dedicated to figure skating and wrestling. I've dabbled in track (hurdles and high jump) and did ballet as a complement to skating for 10 years.

Currently I've been very into yoga, particularly ashtanga. Would be happy to teach any hosts a yoga class!

Absolutely love learning about everything and I'm nice to have at a dinner party because I have so many fun facts to share, so if it gets awkward just give me a nudge and I'll spit about something about Korean culture or supernovas. :)

PHILOSOPHY

My life motto is: On the perpetual quest for challenge and novelty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently just a surfer since I have no couch for others to live on!

Couchsurfed before in the US and Hong Kong and had a wonderful experience both times.

Music, Movies, and Books

All types of music, mostly folk for the day-to-day, but I'm down for pretty much anything except Chinese classical opera.

Movies, I love cerebral ones that really mess with your perception of life.

Books, from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari to old classics like Brave New World, I love reading anything that provides me with a novel perspective on life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Randomly decided to go on a spur-of-the-moment mediation retreat in the Philippines on an island I'd never heard of. Their toilets have no toilet paper and don't flush.
Invite me over and I can explain how such a thing is possible (and actually not as disgusting as it sounds). :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how:
- to make some delicious vegetarian/vegan meals
- to speak English, Russian, Chinese and Spanish
- about biology, chemistry, astronomy
- I'm a perpetual student, so I've got lots of random knowledge tucked up in my brain
