I'm currently walking from Calais to Yerevan, on the second leg between Bratislava and Istanbul. My temporary home for the last few months was Istanbul - and I hope to make it so again this winter. When I get there I would like to host couch surfers, but sadly can't at the moment as I'm carrying my home on my back and in my boots. I care about a few things, too much: books and the availability of knowledge to all, intersectional feminism, and freedom in general, vegetarian food (though the Middle East has slowly beaten the veggie out of me, I'm still trying to claw it back!), and being able to put on a pair of walking boots or get on a bike and go.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

For the company, and the stories and the rooves over heads.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'd like to host anyone who is interested in intersectional feminism and LGBTQI rights and news and communities. I don't consider myself well-informed enough to really be active in these communities, and I'd like to be.
