CURRENT MISSION

To see the world before I get a real job.

ABOUT ME

I'm the girl on the train people watching. You may find me in a park napping under the sun. I'm currently getting a book of poems published and I'm not sure who is going to read them. Sometimes I wish I studied something really cool like nuclear engineering but I've decided urban planning is more suitable. I spend as much time blogging as I do actually interacting with people. I'm the most introverted extrovert you'll ever meet! I ask all the hard questions, the ones they teach you to steer away from in polite conversation. I'm passionately curious about the world and the human experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. - Howard Thurman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf & I've hosted. Currently my roomates aren't comfortable with me hosting :( one day I'll start again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a family in Casablanca, Morocco. We explored Old Medina, New Medina, smoked shisha, went to a traditional hammam and had cous cous and chicken tagine with the whole family on Friday. It was the one of the best experiences I've had in my entire life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've met dozens of kind strangers who help restore my faith in humanity.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can read you poems and teach you how to find the best deals at thrift shops and on international flights. I'm looking to learn French & Spanish and getting better around the kitchen. Pay it forward!
