Hey everyone, welcome to my profile! My name is Annalise (pronouns: she/her). Originally I am from Bloomington, Indiana but I am currently a student at Ithaca College in Upper State New York. I am studying Sociology (which is basically the study of why people do what they do). I am currently working at the Education Intern at Planned Parenthood in Ithaca, New York. I enjoy being challenged by new thoughts and ideas, inside and outside of the classroom. I love to listen and learn as much as I enjoy to talk and teach. My big dream is to experience every country and culture in the world. So far I have been to Canada, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. In the United States I have been to 41 out of the 51 states (including Puerto Rico). Currently I live with my beautiful partner, Vanessa, who is my all time favorite travel companion. I am a huge advocate for intersectional feminism, the Black Lives Matter movement , Trans Rights, and LGBTQ+ Rights. No matter how you identify, you deserve respect. Can’t wait to meet you!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I want to travel in a way that is community based, eco friendly, and financial sustainable. Many of my friends have been couch surfing for years, and tell me it’s an unforgettable experience!

Worked in Tanzania for 2 months, learning from local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that focused on improving women and children’s access to healthcare, education, and financial security.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.
