CURRENT MISSION

Live fully and enjoy food, and moments with friends

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because travelers who are engaged, and like to understand the local culture give me a bit more hope about this world.

Interests

Currently a student(once again) in Sustainable Territorial Development. I worked promoting international education, and it was a neat professional world. It felt more honest. I worked for an international cooperation agency and I saw the real politics of development. Now, I am still drawn to the idea of starting my own project, creating a self-sustainable social for-profit enterprise. I'm curious and like learning. I finished a cooking certification, and I studied Environmental Studies-Sociology, with a lot of theatre, and dance on the side. I am interested in international affairs, global politics, and the intersection between activism, politics and the arts. I like to live in the moment, so I try to enjoy my life as much as possible and have fun. I like cooking, hiking, rock climbing, acting, dancing, rock climbing, cycling, having tea/coffee/yerba mate and a good conversation, reading...and getting lost in new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I enjoy sunsets in different locations. When I was in Hotan, China, there was a lot of sand in the air as it is really close to the desert...the sky was red during the sunset. Then in Montañita, a beach in Ecuador, I saw the sun sink into the Pacific while finishing an afternoon of surfing.

I traveled for three months throughout the American West, and I did a road trip with my best friends from the East to the South to the West.

I traveled by bus from Vancouver to Montreal and from Guatemala to Panama City.
