Hello fellow world-saunterers!

I am:
-a recent college graduate
-an aspiring travel/novel writer
-pescatarian
- thirsty for adventure

The only thing "about me" that I know for certain, is that I will never lead a stationary lifestyle. Once a place becomes home, my insatiable curiosity fixates upon another location, and a new journey begins. Perhaps my next adventure might lead to your doorstep!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The tourism industry has convoluted the very nature of what it truly means to travel: to genuinely experience life in an unfamiliar place. Couchsurfing allows the host to form an international friendship, while providing the traveler with a true (and econonomically feasible!) taste of the country. This type of culture exchange enables travelers on a budget, like myself, to indulge in the richness of culture, rather than the luxury of resorts and other posh nonsense. I can't wait to begin!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

"The Influence of Business on the Formulation of U.S. Environmental Public Policy Post 1970"

117 pages of infuriating revelations of corporate greed and my country's environmental legacy to date

If you're in the States, you can request it from your library if you are so intrigued (It's part of Tulane's thesis series)
