At my heart, I love being a listener and being surrounded by story tellers. I'm all for any opportunity to hear life stories, stories passed on from generations and from the land.

I grew up in an extremely diverse city where I saw the power of stories in bringing together people from wide ranges of experiences and helping them realize each other's humanity.

I did Masters in Public Health and currently work trying to break down and build systems for under-served populations globally. My passion is guided by my belief in social justice and resisting capitalism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through this app, I hope to continue being a thoughtful listener and to add countless stories to our collective. I would love to share my experiences and talk about the path that's brought me to you.

I love to explore on my feet (sorry knees) the hidden gems of each place I visit.

I also love cooking and firmly believe that food can be a great catalyst for story telling.

Perhaps we break bread and see where our stories take us.
