I love learning and traveling and meeting new people. I'm really interested in humans, so I'm also a psychologist, getting my PhD in Clinical Psychology with a focus on youth development and prevention programming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the kind of travel that is spontaneous and lets you actually meet new people and do exciting new things, rather than the sterile kind where you stay in a hotel that could actually just be anywhere. Eventually I'd love to host, but for now I'm too much of a nomad and I won't have a place of my own for a while.

Interests

I have a blog about bathrooms. I love to read. I'm active in social justice. My dog is my favorite person. I want to go to all the places and eat all the foods.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is starting to feel like a dating profile. I'm so flexible on all of these things! Current favorites:

Music: Julia Nunes, Halsey, the Mowglis, Paramore, Elle King

Movies: Home, Brave, The Visit

Books: Ella Enchanted, Sister Outsider

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of random knowledge! I love to cook the few dishes I know (mostly vegetarian, even though I'm an omnivore). I would love staying with Spanish speakers who are willing to be patient with me.
