CURRENT MISSION

To live and love

ABOUT ME

I am a charismatic, inquisitive, easy-going person who grew up in a household comprised of intersecting cultures and who loves to meet new people. Dialogue is, in my personal opinion, the key to understanding, as even the act of willingness to engage in conversation signifies an acknowledgement of the value of interpersonal exchange. I have had the privilege of traveling to quite a few different places, and each locale has brought with it a terrific new experience. I am particularly interested in more of the sociological underpinnings of political science, and correspondingly my research while at university has reflected that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I'm new to CouchSurfing, I'm really excited to simply have the opportunity to meet up with other people. I'm really intrigued by the different personal perspectives that end up manifesting themselves in discussions of even the most trivial subjects.
