I'm a Return Peace Corps Volunteer (Clinic and Health Team sector, in Botswana) who is currently getting her Masters in Public Policy, with a minor in Human Rights. I have been to 5 of the 7 continents, and hope to round that out before I'm 30.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Because you haven't really been to a place until you know its people, language, food and culture. You have to be able to walk around without a map, and find the nooks and crannies that aren't listed in the brochures. I also am a firm believer that story telling and exchanging is one of the most magical experiences groups of people can have with one another. Harder to do that in a hotel.

Música, películas y libros

Damn near anything on all three counts, but thematically I tend to like folk, blues, and jazz (also, ANYTHING that makes me want to dance is fine by me.) I like movies I can cry over, and have a soft spot for comedic action movies. I like books about different perspectives, and traveling, but I also love Stephen King and dystopian political books (think "Harrison Bergeron")

Algo increíble que he hecho

Participated in a drum circle in the Tuli Block, under a blanket of Botswana stars, with a young bachelor elephant about 50ft away.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I know Setswana relatively fluently (losing it the longer I have been away from Botswana), I also love music, and cooking. I would love to learn more languages, how to scuba, and anything else someone is passionate about enough to teach me.
