I am a freshman at the University of California, Santa Barbara studying Comparative Literature and Philosophy. I am another aspiring photographer who loves stand up comedy and musical theatre. I also love to play the saxophone, dance, jog, and watch movies. I am also a vegetarian, feminist, and civil rights activists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling for two months over the summer and I am trying to keep the trip cost to a minimum. I hope to meet someone who is inviting and friendly and engage in some philosophical and fun conversations. I am also trying to improve my French skills, so a host that speaks French would be preferable. My aim is to explore cultures and share my identity and cultural background with the host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Participated in and organized multiple protests against the election of Donald Trump and I have some great pictures to prove it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach ballet, writing development skills, swimming, photography basics and how to play the saxophone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a photographer, dancer, musician, philosopher, story-teller, and theorist. I am openminded and outgoing, athletic and artistic, thoughtful and tantalizing, and I love alliterations. Movie suggestions, humor and an inspirational conversation. We can also do yoga together if you want!
