CURRENT MISSION

Familiarize the exotic and exotify the familiar

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college graduate with the usual recent graduate conundrums, and I'm excited for the adventures ahead! I don't like to travel without my ukulele, but if space is an issue I'll grab a harmonica instead. I just moved to the west coast after spending my whole life on the east, and am looking to make connections and put down some roots in this part of the country :) I've spent much of the past three years working with a non-profit in Tibet, and their work has inspired me to pursue digital media storytelling as a means of making the distant feel close and relatable. I also really like bikes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm rather nomadic and only have the capacity to surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Will let you know when I have some! I've heard a lot of great things from friends who have surfed and hosted, and I love that couchsurfing puts you in touch with a place beyond its sights.
