CURRENT MISSION

live, learn, love, let live, accept, never say never, make the world better, have good days

ABOUT ME

wow, where to begin. I grew up traveling. My brother is my travel companion for better or for worse and I love meeting new people. I am a liberal person with liberal and open views. I have so much I want to learn and see...it is crazy! I love dogs and miss my terrier so much! I lived in Spain for five months and then DC in the spring of 2008 and just spent the summer in Europe travelong all over and living in Barcelona for a while. I graduated from the University of San Francisco in International Studies with a focus in Latin America and am now living in Mexico for my graduate school field work in Sustainable International Development. I work to address poverty through education and youth programs in Latin America.

PHILOSOPHY

go with the flow and take life as it comes at you and try to accept everything. I am an internal optimist and an idealist at heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing is amazing and I think everyone has to try it to learn to adapt and get to know people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite CS city is Paris and Vienna!

Interests

I love reading, about politics, world news, historical leaders, Latin America, Spanish...my major in college was international studies with a focus on global politics and societies in Latin America. I like writing, riding horsing, playing soccer and lacrosse, discovering new cafes and bars, listening to all types of music!

Music, Movies, and Books

currently I am reading Mi Pais Inventado by Isabel Allende and just finished a Paolo Coehlo book and a book called Omnivore's Dilemma by journalist Michael Pollan. I am now starting on Disposable people by Kevin Bales about slavery today.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Angkor Watt in Cambodia in May 2007 and was under the Eiffel tower with one of my best friends. I was also in one of the oldest bars in the US, in Boston where I live now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about how other people live in other countries whether it is good or bad, happy or sad. I have a lot to offer as far as what I have seen and the places I have been to. I would love to work for a non profit organization.

Cambodia, Guatemala, Italy, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Mexico, Nicaragua, Spain, United States
