Hard to talk about me, but I will give it a shot: Up until recently I was teaching at a high school, working with a non-profit handling their internal and external communications, doing research and picking up other projects on the way and (best of all) raising my 3-year old. I have left the work behind and, along with my son, embarked on a new adventure: enrolling in a Women's and Gender Studies programme.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best part of travelling is meeting new people. Couchsurfing has helped me do that in the past. Have met some amazing people through the network who came through when I needed it. Have tried to open my doors for others to pay it forward.

Music, Movies, and Books

Il Gatopardo is my all time favorite. Others keep changing.
Movies are a little harder to name as favorites. The one that's made a long-lasting impression is Satyajit Rai's Shatranj Ke Khiladi.
