About Me

I studied psychology, graduated in 2011 and then took a couple of years to work and find out the needs of the communities I want to work with and serve. So now I am going back to school for a masters in public policy.
I love laid back, impromptu adventures that end with new friends, some beers, walks in the rain or watching a sunrise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting people that challenge my assumptions about what the world is like. I think the beauty of travel is not only the learning new things about foreign places, but how much that can teach you about the places you know and love. Couchsurfing seems like a perfect vehicle for meeting other people that are equally open and welcoming of meeting people that have experienced different things.

Interests

Cooking, reading (on a science-fiction bend currently), and exploring what leads to the inequalities we see in our world and what we can do to fix them.
