I just wrapped up a grad degree where I spent two years thinking about how we might fix climate change by changing the way we consume things like energy and open space. I'm now in what my sister calls my *Rock Star Period* where I travel, and dance, and watch people play music, and generally live freely before starting work in October 2017. If you are kind enough to let me into your home, I will show you how to make Origami and teach you popular American dance moves. :)

Deeper dive:

I want to live in a world where all people's basic needs are met, where climate change stays below 1.5 degrees celsius, and where we notice all the things we share, rather than all the things that make us different from one another. I think we should spend less time consuming and more time creating, and that everyone should probably judge less and dance more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be making my way through Europe from mid July 2017 until the end of August 2017, and I would like to see a lot of beautiful places and meet a lot of kind and compassionate human beings and perfect my French! I also want breach the fuck out of my comfort zone, and to become a more capable, helpful, and educated person.
