I am a researcher who studies the relationship between rainforests and people, a ballroom dancer with two left feet, reader, occasional writer- blogger, day dreamer.

When I am not in the woods or on the dance floor, I get lost in the dreams of an utopian world where every being has equal and equitable access to earth's resources.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people- collect experiences. It has been awesome so far, I have hosted people of all kinds- interesting people who set fire to my otherwise empty apartment with their bountiful energy, hitchhikers who leave amazing stories behind; it hasn't been rosy always- but then they all add to the experiences, don't they?
