I am a pretty go with the flow kind of person, bubbly extroverted yet secretly introverted, and am extremely passionate about way too many things. I originally studied art in college but found a passion for human rights & law and have been following that path for about 5 years now. I just finished my masters degree & plan to use it to work for a non-profit that works to improve conditions for those suffering from oppression at the hands of others who think they are above the law (like IJM or something similar). I am also extremely passionate about animal rights, environmental conservation, Harry Potter, and good food. I love adventure but also love to stay home & relax. I have never been a party animal & never will, unless a party means board games or a movie. I am a neat freak so I won't mess up anyones home & I am happy to cuddle any animals you have :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I decided that there will be no better time that now to backpack through Europe (done with school & will start a full-time job next) and I would love to make friends & stay with those who know the country & culture I will be in!

教，学，和分享

I love to talk about, learn, & teach others about religion, cultures, politics, human rights, ethical sourcing, environmental conservation, and animal rights. I speak geek pretty well on subjects like Harry Potter or Sci Fi tv-shows/movies.

I can teach you how to make awesome guacamole. & I can teach the basics of swing dance, lindy hop, salsa, and the cha cha. :)

I promise to bring a fun spirit and good conversation along with my guacamole expertise & maybe a bottle of wine or another treat!
