CURRENT MISSION

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style” -Maya Angelou

ABOUT ME

Traveler, human rights lawyer, volunteer, linguist, political scientist, craft beer enthusiast, documentary watcher, hiker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We live in a society that teaches us to be inherently distrusting of the people and places around us. I'm on Couchsurfing because I refuse to accept this reality.

In the course of my travels throughout the United States (which is currently home) and the world (which is also currently home), I have met amazing people. Some have entered and exited my life quickly, and others have become lifelong friends; either way, I have forged incredible experiences and memories with people from all walks of life that I will forever cherish. I look forward to continuing to do so.

I love meeting new people and sharing stories over a coffee or a beer.
