About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making it home from Praha in one piece!

ABOUT ME

After a year in India and three semesters abroad, I feel like I'm in training to be a professional nomad. Majoring in Post-Colonial studies and non-fiction writing, I reads too much and spends more time looking at flights than my homework. I tends to get lost on purpose in foreign cities and book the cheapest transportation (not matter how dirty). I'm majoring in Postcolonial Studies and Travel Writing in New York City, but I haven't been back in over a year, preferring to study outside the US.

I was an exchange student in India as a gap year and then convince my college to allow three semesters abroad. Now I'm travelling Europe, hoping to stretch my scholarship money as long as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

"The casual observer must go beyond his own ignorance, superstition and partiality, beyond the limits of their native land."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to cook, drink and have a good conversation in English or Spanish in exchange to a bed, a couch, or a cushy rug. I can't really host- I live in a dorm, and I just got to Prague- but if you want someone to explore the city with, if I'm not out travelling, I'm in!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None through CS, but I am a expert at couch surfing friends, as I am a broke college student, and a lifelong exchange student.
