Overview
About Me
I love getting to know new people and immersing myself in foreign cultures. I've been using Couchsurfing for about 6 months, and I really love it! It's been fun to stay with locals and get outside of the touristy parts of new cities.
I enjoy adventuring outdoors and exploring new places. I love learning foreign languages and getting to know new cultures, and I'm passionate about social justice and human rights work. I currently work with a nonprofit organization in Mexico City that provides shelter and resources to Central American migrants. I speak English, Spanish, Kinyarwanda (I spent a year teaching English in Rwanda), and I'm currently learning French.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I enjoy getting to know new places from the perspective of locals, rather than just hitting up all the touristy spots. I'm looking to meet some cool people and make new friends!
