CURRENT MISSION

To gain the education of travel.

ABOUT ME

Ummmm... Well I am a 23 year old beach girl from New England (Rhode Island) in the United States. I did a tour of Europe and I was bitten by the travel bug. Studied a year in Miami and fell in love with the Latin culture. Have mostly international friends and connections. I am currently an English teacher in Copiapo, Chile. I am eager to talk to anyone as long as I learn something new, I love to try different things and dream big. I am tall with fair skin and freckles, blue eyes and brown hair.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy? I guess its that there is so much out to learn and see that the more you see, the less you realize you know. Keep an open mind and be kind to others because you never know what we can teach each other and how it may change your life for the better. Tolerance is a must.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started really travelling, but have always been a fan.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just surfed to the south of Chile for 10 days. Great experience.

Interests

I like traveling, hiking, the beach, partying, a strong beer, red wine, espresso, having great conversations, hanging with friends, museums,trying new foods, listening to music in my car and shopping for interesting clothes and ethnic jewelry and crafts. I like to learn about other cultures in any way shape or form.

I like lots of books, especially real long fantasy or non-fiction JKR Tolkein, Ayn Rand, and Ken Follett.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a bit of a Renaissance woman. I am very hard working and traditional in some senses (Summa Cum Laude in University), but I like to fight against the system at any chance I get. I am very open to criticism about my nationality, and therefore very humble, which allows me to make friends and be a better listener.

Teach, Learn, Share

uhhhh...I could share my education in Gender Studies, globally and locally. Have investigated a lot of Gender dynamics in the Middle East and in South America, as well as my home country of the United States. I am very interested in political science, and the effect of colonialism and capitalism that U.S.(and other nation's) foreign policy has had (almost 100% negative) on the world. I have an interest in Native cultures, women's cooperatives, the environment, nutrition and bohemian living.
