CURRENT MISSION

Finding a VW Bus and learning to teleport

ABOUT ME

I'm currently teaching English online, which gives me the perfect opportunity to travel and work.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that all people are inherently good. I believe that all people should be treated with respect and dignity. I believe that listening, having an open mind, and trying to have an understanding of other viewpoints are some things that often forgotten. I believe that the world is imperfect and frustrating, but it’s worth the energy to try to change. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit. I believe in laughter. I believe that impact does not necessarily need to be measured by facts and figures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think Couchsurfing is a great way to to share cultures and learn about a new place from the people who know them best- locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed with some lovely people on my solo trip through southern Morocco and the Western Sahara and Greece. I'm amazed by how welcoming and helpful the couchsurfing community can be.
