I've just finished school and am spending a year outside the US, mostly working on my own political education and writing skills, and finding ways to be useful to people doing political work I feel excited about. I mostly am renting places because I'm staying in each place for a while, but might need to spend a few days here and there in between things. And for me it's always better to meet locals than just be in hostels with travelers.

I like coffee, spicy food, dark chocolate, gardens, music. I like to sing and play music with other people and I'm trying to acquire a tiny guitar. I like meeting new people, reading and writing, and cooking. I am an organizer and am working to figure out how to position myself to be useful to revolutionary struggles and political projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like being in new places but hate being a tourist--it's always better to stay with someone, share a little of their world. I'm actually just making this profile now because I need a place to stay for four days before my apartment in Buenos Aires is ready, then I'll actually be living and working in BA for about four months so let's stay friends. :)

I also hope to be able to host and be hosted in the future.
