Smile with your eyes, laugh with your gut, and trust with your heart

When I'm not completely enthralled by the work I'm doing you can find me seeking out quiet spots in parks to read, trying out local cuisine, or museum hopping. If all else fails, I may be searching for a new sea urchin in the deep blue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet you, of course!

If you're looking to surf, please read through the MY HOME tab before sending me a couch request.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo bag-packing trip in Southeast Asia where I went scuba diving for the first time. The marine life was surreal, and I got to watch closely as fire sea urchins ate and passed their food

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: The languages I know, scratch cooking, sketching

Learn: Unusual facts and places, more languages, where you think the best desserts are

Share: Travel stories, cooked meals, deep conversations, and a sense of curiosity

What I Can Share with Hosts

To any hosts who accept me, there is a strong chance I'll take over your kitchen to cook for everyone. At least one meal :]

But not to worry! I'm very tidy and willing to wash the dishes after meals, fold the linens from the couch, and so on. I'll also invite you on my hikes, museum visits, foodie cravings, and anything else you may want to take part in. However, if you can't make it that's all right too.
