About Me

CURRENT MISSION

become who i am

ABOUT ME

i love languages and the humanities in general, though i hope also one day to become a physician.

i have studied ancient languages (greek and latin) in california and currently study comparative religions in germany. i have lived in the USA, indonesia, germany, and morocco, and have traveled to a whole lot more places, too!

PHILOSOPHY

i am a lifelong learner. i live to make connections - with people, with ideas, with god/the universe/what have you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

there are very few things i love more than travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have been to couch surfing meetings in the USA, and have couch-surfed in many places, including india, russia, ukraine, switzerland, germany, qatar, and more!

couchsurfing is like pizza, sex, or music ... even when it's not that great, it's still pretty good.
