I'm a masters student studying development studies at the institute of development studies in the UK. My focus is on alternative economic theories of development. In the past I've studied community action and social change, economics, African studies, and public policy.

I'm passionate about social justice and equity, and enjoy talking about anything related to those topics!

I'm in a committed relationship with Diarra Brooks, my wonderful girlfriend who I am most likely travelling with wherever I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a broke college student with huge amounts of student loan debt :)

Interests

I'm a board game nerd who likes Indian food, hard cider, and cooking. I especially like learning new recipes! When travelling, I like trying new cuisine, visiting museums to learn about local history, and walking around open markets and city squares.
