About Me

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, outgoing, and in love with all the beautiful things that life has to offer! I am very fond of deep conversations and will try anything once.

Politics and world affairs are two of my biggest loves, excellent ice cream is another. ;)

I live for traveling and soaking up as many unexpected moments as I can. The more people I meet, the more I taste, and the more I see during my travels makes for unforgettable experiences. I also cherish very good food, particularly when I can cook or try new recipes with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment it's hard for me to host surfers, but I would love to meet up for coffee, drinks, a nice meal or whatever you might have time for. :) Just message me and we can plan something together!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been an amazing experience so far! I've been able to meet a lot of incredible people through the platform and have surfed in the most random of places--Luxor, Egypt and Eilat, Israel being the top two thus far. I am looking forward to my future experiences with Couchsurfing, hopefully India will be next!

Interests

I love dancing, a good drink, meeting new people in unexpected places, traveling, and great conversations. I study politics, global affairs, and international development--so I am passionate about these things and always will be. I have a great interest in the MENA region and human rights as well, so discussions and things of that nature take up a lot of my time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I haven't been able to read as many leisurely books as I have wanted to, thanks to the millions of things that are required from my graduate school, but all of my friends and family have always called me a book worm. :) I love anything from criminology books, to the classics (particularly southern classics), and poetry from around the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dancing under the stars in Gulu, Uganda while preparing a 4th of July feast. Watching the sunset on top of sand dunes in the Egyptian desert. Wandering through the Czech country side and finding a band of gyspies, where my friends and I were invited to their camp for lunch.

Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, Palestine, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom
