About Me

I taught for 2 years in Denver as a member of Teach for America, then taught at an International School in Nigeria for a year. I'll be attending the Fletcher School at Tufts University in Boston this fall, pursuing a Masters in International Affairs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, discover new places, meet new people, and find as many adventures as I can. I'm always up to try a new experience in a new place.

Interests

Anything outdoorsy. I love running, hiking, snow and water skiing, swimming, biking, pretty much anything active, but if I'm engrossed in a book I can sit there and read all day.

I love good food and will go out of my way to find the best crepe/bagel/pizza/whatever. I lived in Denver for two years and fell in love with the craft beer scene so I definitely appreciate a good brew as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Mostly science fiction (The Expanse series, the Enderverse, etc) but I'll read anything.
Music: A little bit of everything, a little bit more alternative/indie rock. George Watsky, Jukebox the Ghost, 21 Pilots, The Killers, Awolnation...
Movies: All?
