Current graduate student exploring the world and finding my place in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover new places and meet the wonderous, beautiful people that inhabit them.

To invest in the radical notions that 1) the best things in life can be shared with one another and 2) that finitude -- of compassion, justice, and beauty -- only affects the unimaginative.

To fully live out my understanding that people, and the world we live in, are good and sometimes we just need to care for each other and interact with each other more to see that.

White-water rafted down the Nile

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and can share unique styles I have gathered from so many amazing people throughout my few years.
I am technically a certified Master Gardener so I can help you with garden stuff. And I really enjoy weeding (it's cathartic) so I can do that too.
I am always down for a spontaneous adventure, but I am particularly great at planning them. So if you need a planner, I'm your person!
I am prettttttty good at book recommendations.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, China, Croatia, England, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Slovenia, Spain, Uganda
