Hey guys. Unfortunately my space in Menton does not allow for me to host for the time being:/ Still shoot me a message if you are planning to visit! Perhaps we can meet up.

I am someone who never knows what to write in "about me" sections. Here are the first five things that come to mind:

1. I love to run. I love any physical activity, in fact.
2. I study Peace, Justice & Conflict Studies and I am fully invested in the reality of all three of those areas.
3. Love As the Practice of Freedom by bell hooks changed my life and is one of my most cherished literary pieces, but I have yet to read all of Outlaw Culture
4. I play blues harmonica
5. I have no idea what I will be doing in 10 years

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I believe in humanity. I love the idea of humans helping out humans and getting the opportunity to learn from one another and build relationships all around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Any and all blues music

Movies: Pulp Fiction

Books: It probably sounds bad that I don't have a favorite book. If I had to, I would say my favorites have been those texts (and authors) who have challenged me the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me in person

Teach, Learn, Share

From Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed"
“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women* deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”
