ABOUT ME

I am from Monterey and San Francisco, California. I have been super lucky to live and study all over--in Germany in high school and China in college, and as an intern in Uganda and Peru.

I am really laid back and like to go out and hear music and chat with people. I'm very committed to ecconomic and social justice and have worked in immigration law for the past 5 years. I'm back in school now in Washington DC to become a lawyer so that I can be a more effective advocate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some meets ups, and similar experiences not related to couch surfing: I've hosted two high school exchange students for a year each from Colombia and Germany, done a year long exchange myself in Dortmund, Germany, and stayed with and hosted other friends from a Latin America and Europe.
