“Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is less violent than war?” - Ray Gwyn Smith

I'm a 25 year old woman, Psychology major and currently pursuing a Master's in Work and Organizational Psychology in Coimbra (though I am originally from Nicaragua). Passionate about social justice, feminism, art and education. Great music and cinematic taste (no shame in my art game).

This is no dating site. I am not interested in flirting with men over couchsurfing. Don’t send me requests or messages if those are your intentions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
