Back in the DMV cuz of the pandemic ! Work in humanitarian aid / international development, vegetarian, and like to write poetry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always want to practice other languages (Spanish and French), meet new people, try new things, experience what a place has to offer, etc. Hoping to find some people in Dhaka and also explore Kolkata and Kathmandu while I'm in the area !
