ABOUT ME

I grew up in California's San Francisco Bay Area. I have studied comparative literature and public administration. During 2012, I traveled to Santiago, Chile to teach English for a few months and had the great experience of meeting several Couchsurfers and hosts. I currently work as an analyst for a city government. I enjoy traveling and meeting people from different cultures, as well as hiking, running, cycling, basketball, soccer, and exploring new places.

PHILOSOPHY

Through a better understanding of the different viewpoints that exist in this world, we are better able to understand and justify our own beliefs, customs, and ideals. I believe there is more to life than what I have been exposed to so far; I hope traveling will help.

Great way to meet new people and develop friendships, not to mention save money while traveling.
