About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live deliberately and see the world

ABOUT ME

I am an academic, but I study history and culture, so I am fun, outgoing, energetic, and I love life: good food, good wine, good conversation, and good people!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to live free, love deliberately, and to remember to take time to look for the joie de vivre in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to talk and listen. I'm an anthropologist so I love meeting new people and having exotic experiences. I'm very empathic and I add to the mood, lift spirits. I'm a raging fire, but I want to warm, not consume :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been all across Europe and Chile couch surfing (though not through this website)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
