CURRENT MISSION

Connecting with people from all over! Hearing new perspectives! Constantly learning!

ABOUT ME

Hello! I recently graduated with a MA in Public Humanities, studying ways to make arts and culture more relevant, meaningful, and accessible in people's everyday lives. This means I do a lot of oral history, community education, arts organizing, and digital storytelling.

I love eating, learning, and connecting with other people Oh, and birds!

PHILOSOPHY

Resonance and wonder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have found that my most meaningful travel experiences include meeting new people. I'd rather have deep cross-cultural connections than simply be a tourist, and so I'm grateful for opportunities to meet up with local people when traveling --- and I'm so happy when I have the chance to reciprocate!

Interests

Eating, cooking, storytelling, foodways, listening to and playing music, visual art, literature, poetry, emancipatory social justice movements, film, backpacking, ornithology.
