About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to keep being in love with life!

ABOUT ME

"it took me too long to realize that i don't take good picture cause i have the kind of beauty that moves." -ani difranco

i'm 26 years old. i'm currently writing a ph.d. in feminist economics, and using the flexibility of being a grad student to travel as much as possible. i consider myself one of the luckiest people ever - i have such an amazing life. it is really important to me that i share the happiness that i've found.

PHILOSOPHY

"you must always push the limits. because if you never fail, you will never succeed."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

meeting up with other CSers was a great part of my first trip and it changed the way i think about traveling. people are so fundamentally GOOD and it's so easy to lose sight of that sometimes. CSers are such cool people; all want to travel, meet people, and help out when they can. i love that mentality.
