I love traveling, learning new languages and cultures, and meeting new people. I'm passionate about the causes I participate in which are usually related to education, human rights, and the environment. I've traveled working as an educational advisor and teacher. I plan on going to law school in fall of this year.

Soy yo 100%. Me encanta aprender y conocer gente. Creo que todos tenemos una estoria y todos tenemos conocimento que podemos compartir. Espero aprender algo de ti.

Mambo! Napenda kusafiri, kufahamu watu wengine, wa kujua zaidi kuhusu dunia yetu. Nitafurahi sana kukufahamu.

^Not translations. I just express myself differently in different languages. For those who speak Español and Kiswahili, I hope to connect with you in these languages as well.
^No he traducido mis palabras arriba, es solo que pienso diferente en cada lengua y espero que podamos comunicar en los lenguajes que sabemos y tener una experiencia increíble.
^Nilitaka kukuonyesha najua kiswahili wa tunaweza kuongea y kupiga story sana kutumia Kiswahili au lugha nyingine ambao wanaongea Tanzania (Kisambaa, Kimaasai, etc.). Onga? Imi ni Msambaa pia. Niliishi karibu na Usambara kwa muda mrefu.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved back to the U.S. from abroad. Also, couch-surfing is a great way to meet new people! I hope to give back in the future when I have a couch to spare. :)
