ABOUT ME

Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, fire ballerina, activist. Homebase is Michigan. New to this site..... seeking couches to surf while my life is in flux.... (You don't need to show me around town ~ just looking for a spot to chill-sleep-work)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm working on relocating back to California, job searching (international public health with a focus on Africa), interviewing, trying to get my life together. . . and low on $

Interests

I love festivals, dancing, ballet, costumes, performance art, cats, playing with fire, electronic music, sewing, thrift stores, upcycling, activism, news, public health, international development, ict4d, Africa, volunteering, human rights, women's rights, social justice, peace, and innovative intersections of art-activism-technology-public health.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to dance with fire. I can give a basic ballet lesson. I also have a lot of knowledge about the conflict in D. R. Congo - would love to share this. I can teach basic French.
I would like to learn more French, learn about other cultures, soak up any knowledge on activist movements, learn about innovative ways art is used in activism, learn about new technologies used in public health/int'l development...
