I'm a returned Peace Corps volunteer from Washington, DC. I served from 2012-2014 in Luapula, Zambia. Now I'm back in DC and working in women's healthcare.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I fell in love with the free and open community I found in Zambia and I feel like couch-surfing has the same kind of vibe. I couchsurfed with a friend in Iceland for the first time in May 2015 and I really like getting to know the host and meeting new people.

Interests

Dancing! Dancing is one of my favorite things to do and it's something that I try to find when I come to a new place.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favorite books is Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Lion's Head mountain in Cape Town, South Africa to see the last super moon of 2014. I'm terrified of heights, but I love moon gazing more than I fear heights. Coming down with only the light of the moon and the light from everyone's head lamps was definitely scary, though!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing stories and hearing stories from others. People are so multi-faceted and different and I can't get enough of their stories.
