CURRENT MISSION

To travel and learn and meet interesting people on the way.

ABOUT ME

My name is Joanna and I just graduate with my bachelors in both psychology and international studies at UCSD. I am currently living in London, UK to do my masters in medical anthropology at University College London. I have traveled extensively and believe that couch surfing has brought me some of the most rewarding experiences while abroad. Most recently, I spent five months in Istanbul, Turkey and a month and a half in Kenya and Uganda. I love meeting new people and sharing stories and experiences and having a good laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

To have fun and be silly.

Interests

good music, friends, food, books, and conversation. Actually, what beats out all of these things is having good conversations with genuinely good people.
