Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn all I can about the other cultures of the world, and to teach all that I can about my own.
ABOUT ME
I am a New York City college student with a passion for environmental activism and politics. I've done some work for local political campaigns and green businesses. Currently at Oberlin College I am studing Environmental Studies and East Asian Studies, specializing in Chinese Language. I love to cook, practice yoga, do Capoeira, and explore new lands. At college I live in an 80 member Cooperative, where I am the resident breadmaker.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in common ideals across cultures and believe that through friendship and openness to foreign cultures, we all can work together for a better world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As of now, being a College Student, I cannot host anybody, but that will change as I graduate and continue my life. As of now, I could only meet with visitors to my hometown, and be a guest. As a guest I would be more than happy to make some homemade bread and clean while I stay.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None yet, but that will hopefully change soon!
