CURRENT MISSION

find some place I never want to leave

ABOUT ME

I'm a petite philosopher, anthropologist, photographer, and crazy cat lady. I consider myself very thoughtful and open to diverse perspectives around the world. I think it's important to be a critical witness of the world's injustices and of the world's great beauty--you can help make it a better place and enjoy it deeply too.

PHILOSOPHY

Get caught up in the little things--the different hues of pigeons, the white lights cities put up in the winter, one extremely good dessert--this is where life lies.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Totally new to couchsurfing, although I did host a couchsurfer once without signing up for it. I want to meet cool people in other parts of the world so they can show me their world.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

People see what they want to see and what they already know. What they choose to read buttresses their pre-existing worldview and prejudices. Maybe traveling the world and meeting people radically different than yourself can not only expand your perspective, but promote empathy and togetherness. I think it's important to challenge your ideas all the time--perhaps couchsurfing is a great way to do that.
