CURRENT MISSION

To have at least one good laugh a day

ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student in political science, so every day I get a little booksmarter and a little streetdumber.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed all over Europe! What an incredible experience that was... Now it's your turn to visit me in the lovely, funky little city of Long Beach, CA.

Interests

I love Latin American history and culture, arguing about politics and the future of our world, and never sitting still for long.
