A college graduate pursuing an advanced degree for women's health research, I use traveling as a means of collecting human perspective. I like the heat and the ocean, and I learned how to climb before I learned how to walk. Baking is my reprieve and I love to cook dinners as well - I'm very familiar with vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free cooking. All animals are friends (so long as I'm not within killing distance of the ones with evolutionary biological weaponry) and I'll happily discuss environmental and social issues in an effort to expand my understanding, patience, and acceptance of other people and myself. Lastly, I will vocally analyze any misogynistic, classist, and racist poop I see, so I sure hope you're not inclined to make those types of comments because I will ponder them openly with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a lot to learn and the best way is to meet people very different from me. I'd be so grateful if you, as a host or a traveler, would show me your world and I'll do the same in kindness.
