CURRENT MISSION

To explore the ways I can best connect with others in global struggles for justice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, host, and participate in CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some of my best friends in the world through the couchsurfing communities in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2011. I've now surfed couches in the USA, Israel, the Palestinian West Bank, Jordan, Turkey, and Brazil!

All my surfing and hosting experiences have been amazing adventures, and I love the CS mentality.

Interests

I like to be physically active, and I prefer to bike as my main mode of transportation in addition to dancing, jogging, and playing sports. I volunteer as a high school soccer coach in my spare time.
