ABOUT ME

really enjoy anything social studies. I am spending my 20's meeting people, doing really enriching experiences, and exploring new places.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that often times we come to define ourselves by the labels that describe us. Its really important to push ourselves out of that mode of thinking. When we connect with those who have different backgrounds and experiences, we acknowledge and live out the common humanity we all share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really pleases me to be hospitable in the sense that people feel at ease, enjoy themselves, and connect with others because of the ambiance I created. I love meeting and talking to people who have a similiar mentality- desiring knwledge and growth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent an amazing year living with people in recovery from crack addiction. My work was to enforce the rules for the "halfway house" (though I hate that term!) while supporting the women to persist in their recovery. It was incredibly challenging, rich, and rewarding.
