About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn how to be a better person.

ABOUT ME

During my travels, I've realized that you can meet great people everywhere. With that said, I try to take advantage of the social aspect of traveling. I never want to miss out on a great conversation or spontaneous adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that one can be a critical thinker and have eye opening discussions without invalidating/ minimizing the lifestyle of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to get the locals only tour of a city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I WWOOF'D (World Wide organization of Organic Farms)and did workaway in Norway which is kind of like couchsrfing except for a long time.

UPDATE 04/2017
I have couchsurfed in Paris, Stockholm, Vienna, and Berlin. I have not been able to host people since I was in university and now live with my host family. (I am an au pair)

Interests

I have started reading more articles, essays and books about race, gender, sexuality, class, and philosophy. I like to make zines and take photos on a an old analog camera. Lately, I have been interested in starting dance courses and painting. I like to hike and jog. I am a concert person. I love the atmosphere of a small 5 dollar show and the loud rustle in the streets during smoke breaks.
