CURRENT MISSION

To truly become a citizen of the world.

ABOUT ME

I am interested in many things: world politics, history, urban and public spaces, literature, music, and people. I love traveling. I am vegetarian and love to eat.

I spent three years serving as U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in Armenia and just recently finished graduate school focusing on international education policy.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has something to teach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to travel throughout the world, and also help people who wish to do the same. I will offer as much as I can in the way of hospitality and entertainment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling throughout Eastern Europe I was hosted by several people. I hope I can return the favor here in Armenia.
