CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm boring. Extreeeeeeemely boring.

No, but really. So far I've lived in Spain and Jordan teaching English on year long fellowships, but after much angst over the thought of leaving teaching, I'm off to Johns Hopkins for a master in International Affairs. Basically I want to make this love "affair" with the world a permanent lifestyle choice. I love to travel, to meet people, to sing, to laugh, to cook, to EAT! I'm a workout junkie and I'm trying to get more into the outdoorsy stuff :) Really what you need to know about me is that I'm super outgoing and I'm trying to get as much life outta this world as I can :)

PHILOSOPHY

It's in Spanish, but I'll eventually translate:

Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino, y nada más;
caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino,
sino estelas en la mar.
~Antonio Machado

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been at home and haven't been able to host for a while. I'm hoping now that I'll be back in my own flat soon, I'll be able to get more into CS :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not too much YET! I was once hosted in Israel and I was a host in Jordan. I met someone for a coffee in Richmond :) I surfed when I first arrived to Bologna and made a great friend for the whole year!

Interests

There are so many it might be easier to write what I'm not interested in!

I love food. I'm a workout nut. I like outdoorsy stuff, but I haven't done much camping. I enjoy learning new languages and I think we're always learning. I love shopping, but funds are obviously not unlimited :P I love performing and listening to live music.
