CURRENT MISSION

To make connections with cool new people!

ABOUT ME

Native-born Chicagoan living outside Los Angeles, who LOVES:

* Environmental studies and political science
* Short stories, prose poetry, and crossword puzzles
* Beautiful views
* Recycling, thrift shopping, riding trains, and day hikes
* Mexican, Italian, and Mediterranean food

and COULD DO WITHOUT:

* Highways, deforestation, and climate change deniers
* Raced and gendered micro-aggressions
* Career-related schmoozing
* Boring days spent in the house watching Netflix

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the power of positive thinking, even though it's often an uphill battle to stay that way.

"No matter how long the night, the day is sure to come."

Hope springs eternal :)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I'm most interested in meeting new people at Couchsurfing events! After graduation, I'd love to Couchsurf my way around the country, and once I get my own place, anything goes :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've left South Africa on foot, climbed up a mountain pass, and emerged at the top to enter Lesotho, and then had drinks at the official Highest Pub in Africa. The view was unbelievable.

教，学，和分享

I know a little bit about a lot of things, mostly vague and ephemeral and systemic and critical things, just like a liberal arts student should.
