I like to find opportunities that excite, but also terrify me, and then say "yes" before I can say "no." Delaying grad school by traveling, connecting with good people, seeing beautiful places, eating lots of food, and learning as much about myself and the world as humanly possible.

Me gusta encontrar las oportunidades que me entusiasman, pero también me aterran, y decir "sí" antes de que pueda decir "no." Retrasando la escuela de posgrado por viajar, vincular con buena gente, ver a lugares lindos, comer mucho, y aprender todo que pueda sobre el mundo y mí.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing like seeing a place through the eyes of a local-- gaining a new friend out of the experience is even better. I've met some of the most generous people via this platform and looking to keep that spirit going for folks passing through NOLA.

No hay nada como ver un lugar por los ojos de un nativo-- ganar un nuevo amigo es aún mejor! He conocido con gente tan generosa y quiero continuar esa espiritú por ser anfitriona en Nueva Orleans.

Interests

Discovering new music and seeing live music (especially in combination). Hiking. Backpacking. Traveling. Nature. Practicing Spanish. Dancing. Reading. Documentaries. Drinking red wine. Drinking whiskey. Mapping routes. Social work, social justice, social change and thinking way too hard about things. Playing the four chords I know on the guitar in various orders. Time with my daughter/cat, Rainie. Exploring new countries, neighborhoods, and mountain-tops. Connecting with new friends, staying connected with old ones. Really long conversations and the feeling when you realize you've just met an incredible, kindred spirit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ascending a mountain in Peru, in a blizzard, on the back of a mule who only understood Spanish, positive I was on the verge of death, was somehow the best thing ever, not the worst.

Subir una montaña en Perú, en una ventisca de nieve, con una mula que no entendió el inglés, segura de que me iba a morir, fue honestamente la mejor experiencia, no la peor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm eager to learn whatever you can teach. If you teach it, I'll (try to) learn it. I can help you with your English, cook you a Persian meal, and chat with you till the early morning about social justice, music, and our respective cats.

Quiero aprender cualquier cosa que tú enseñes. Te puedo ayudar con la inglés, cocinar a gastronomia persa, y conversar hasta la mañana sobre la justicia social, la música, y nuestros gatos.
