I love traveling; seeing new places, meeting new people. I've spent my whole life moving around, never living in one place for more than a few years at a time. I've lived in Canada, U.S., Russia, Costa Rice, Colombia and Italy. I'm very open minded, and love finding myself in new and different situations. I speak English, Spanish and Italian well, understand French, and speak a little bit of Russian.

I work with Greenpeace and am an environmental justice organizer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My couchsurfing experiences have been really positive - it's a great way to travel. I love meeting people and getting their perspective on their city of residence.

Interests

Other than traveling, I'm a big fan of soccer/football and basketball, and love going to games in whatever country I happen to be in. I really like dancing, especially salsa, merengue, bachata etc.

I also am stating to explore new mindfulness practices, such as meditation.
