CURRENT MISSION

50 countries before 50!

ABOUT ME

Hello from Boulder, CO! I'm working on my grad degree in media and public engagement. I haven't used CS much but when I travel I want to experience a country through the perspective of locals. As a student, I unfortunately live with several others right now and am not able to host, but really hope to pay it forward once I finish school!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life by the idea that one cannot experience happiness without actively practicing gratitude. I've experienced great things with great people and have been fortunate enough to travel and pursue my passions.

"There is a famous line by Karl Marx, which I am sure many of you know: the task is not just to understand the world, but to change it. And there is a variant of that which should also be kept in mind. If you want to change the world in a constructive direction, you better try to understand it first. And understanding it doesnt mean just listening to a talk or reading a book, although that'€™s helpful sometimes. It means learning. And you learn through participation. You learn from others. You learn from the people you are trying to organize. And you have to gain the experience and understanding which will make it possible to maybe implement ideas like that as a tactic."
- Noam Chomsky

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any yet! I've always stayed in hostels but since traveling and living in Korea I've met so many people who've surfed and hosted and have never heard a bad experience from friends, so I'm excited to try both.
