ABOUT ME

I've just moved to Bogota. I'm originally from Alaska, and for the past 2 years I worked at a small non-profit in Kampala, Uganda that does youth empowerment and arts education. I'm passionate about organizational design and grassroots social change. I enjoy traveling, tropical weather, meeting new people, and I LOVE dancing!

Hace poco me mudé a Bogota. Nací en Alaska, y durante los últimos dos años viví en Uganda, trabajando con una pequeña fundación que hace programas de arte con jóvenes en los barrios. Me encanta trabajar con el cambio social y desarrollo de organizaciones. Me fascina viajando, el clima tropical, conocer gente nueva, y lo más--bailar!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for new friends, job opportunities, an apartment to rent, and people to practice Spanish with. :)

Busco amigos nuevos, oportunidades para trabajar o hacer trabajo voluntario, una habitación en alquiler, y amigos quien pueden ayudarme con el español :)
