About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To rock your world

ABOUT ME

Recent Thailand-transplant enjoying one of the coolest cities in the country. Besides work, I like to meet new people, get lost in conversation, study Thai, do craftwork on the sly, cook, explore the city, and stuff my face with Thai food (emphasis on that last part).

PHILOSOPHY

Never look down on anyone unless you're helping them up

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There are a couple of weekly social events I participate in through CS. My status (couch available, couch unavailable, meet for coffee, etc.) will fluctuate based on my schedule, but I love being a part of this community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I learned about this from my old duplexmate. She had someone stay at her place who found her on CouchSurfing, and I wanted to be involved in such a trusting and helpful community. I have been a surfer and I have been a host. It's been a pretty rad experience.

Interests

It's pretty simple. I like to learn. Whether it's a new language, a new constellation in the sky, international politics, gardening, bike maintenance, or how to use a coffee maker (I've yet to remember that one), I become fascinated and interested pretty easily
