Hi! I'm Dina. I recently quit my job as a business analyst to take to the world and travel solo! My adventure started with sailing across the Pacific from Los Angeles to Tokyo to deliver an expedition boat that is serving as the support vessel for Ben Lecomte - a man who is attempting to swim across the Pacific and bringing awareness to the current state of our oceans. I am now informally working as a shore team member while wandering about, hoping to spend time in many asian countries and would love to hear recommendations and meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am hoping to meet new people and get true local experiences as I am traveling solo with no real plans. I'd love to share travel recommendations, tips, recipes, and stories! I am also always happy to cook for you!
