Overview
About Me
I'm just barely spreading my wings to begin my journey that I intend to spend mostly abroad. I've traveled since I was little, with family across Europe and by myself to South Africa right after high school. I studied Cultural Anthropology and religious (philosophy) studies at school and am ready engage with the rest of the world outside of school and the US.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I studied culture and humanity in school. I have little to no desire for hotels or resorts, I want to embrace those that live around the world through their eyes and by being a guest in their homes. I want to learn from people I meet abroad and thoroughly enjoy my traveling experiences, which I believe is done through close encounters in different countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveled and volunteered and lived in South Africa. It was the greatest experience of my life and I will always remember it, I'm ready for more amazing moments around the world!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I have a deep love of life, I've been through a lot throughout my lifetime and have gained wisdom despite the hardships. I am open to learning languages--which I love, I almost studied Linguistics in school--and actually hope to pick up basic knowledge of all language I encounter on my travels. Help me out!!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I want to be able to have conversations and experiences with those that host me for my travels. And with an open heart I welcome anyone that wants to visit the bay area to stay in my house!
