CURRENT MISSION Education without egocentrism. ABOUT ME I'm equal parts bubbly and contemplative. I travel with wide eyes, attentive ears, and open expectations. Most days I fill reading, hiking, eating, learning, and having good conversation. I love meeting new people (although I still get a healthy dose of nerves each time), but I find my best conversations happen one on one rather than in a group. Three years ago, I took a year and a half off from school (I attend Williams College) in hopes of finding some perspective on myself, my values, and the state of our country and world. I then returned to school feeling remarkably refreshed after my experiences backpacking across the United States. I owe so much to couchsurfing. I just moved out to Seattle, and am currently working at a homeless shelter (Blaine Center), doing counseling, case management, and data analysis. I'm looking for friends and tour guides!!! PHILOSOPHY I aim to use pain and adversity in life as a source of empathy and courage rather than a wound or blind spot. Life can be harmful, but I strive to remain harmless. I sometimes find the best way to maintain my happiness is to listen to others' stories to learn, keep perspective, and keep moving.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Currently, telling as many people that will listen about how Courchsurfing changed (and perhaps saved) my life. visited 35 states (70%)Create your own visited map of The United States or Triposo world travel guide for Android visited 14 states (6.22%)Create your own visited map of The World or Triposo world travel guide for Android COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I first used couchsurfing around MA and VT to meet some people and learn the lay of the land, but didn't truly appreciate the extent that CS could make me a more understanding, calm, and knowledgable person until I began surfing across the US in February 2014. My couchsurfing experiences have varied in almost every way but have been universally rewarding.
Musique, films et livres
Music: A bit of everything- a lot of alternative, some bluegrass, blues, hip hop, and I admit that Sinatra will always put me into a good mood. I currently co-host a college radio show with a friend that only features badass female artists- a lot of hiphop, electronica, and indie. Movies: Anything that develops its characters past your first instinct Books: I've been reading mostly nonfiction recently- biographies, political commentaries, travel memoirs, environmental journalism. There are too many good books to read!
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
After my first rugby match (I played for three years in a collegiate league before I got too many concussions), my heart was hammering, I was grinning broadly, and I was struck by the thought, "this is the most powerful I've ever felt." I seek to prove myself again in similar ways all the time.
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I don't have much to teach- I have much more to learn.
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
Patience, a smile, an open heart, and a loud laugh!
Mes centres d'intérêt
I used to say that everything interested me, but perhaps that was an optimistic notion- and yet still I am curious about most things. Here goes: rugby, civil rights issues, photography, politics, hiking, psychology, food, feminism, soccer, hockey, and film. And above all, disrupting and dismantling systems of oppression.
