Hey there! Thanks for visiting my profile. My interests include plant-based food, bicycles, mindfulness, sustainability and environmentalism, nutrition and wellness, refugee assistance, reading, world politics, a generally clean lifestyle, meeting people from around the world, new ideas, being out of my comfort zone, and exploring the human condition! I hope to learn/do something new every day. We live in a beautiful world, and I wake up happy to be alive every day. So I'm sure we'll get along! From October 2018 to June 2021, I worked as an English teacher in Peru and Vietnam. I returned to the U.S. in the summer of '21 and made my first big train trip. I then made a significant life change by deciding to go back to university to finish my Bachelor's degree. I graduated in the summer of 2023 and spent the next year working at a refugee resettlement agency. I resigned from that role one month ago and am currently based in Accra, Ghana, where I'm staying with a loved one. We have plans to create a lifestyle and travel business that will connect ideas of wellness, multiculturalism, sustainable travel, and authentic local experiences! It's still in its infancy but I am so excited by this prospect :) YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2u3M3KbF1UBgp4bQhVxXRQ

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
The best way to travel is to experience each new destination through a local lens. Eat, sleep, drink, see, and do as those who live there do! Big attractions are great, but I love the hidden and quirky gems just as much (thank you, Atlas Obscura) I've worked with people from all around the world, and as I met more and more, a steady global network of friends has started to form. I'd like to continue this trend, and pay back the kindness I've received during my travels in turn!
Musica, film e libri
Music - whatever suits my mood at the moment! I'm less into specific artists and more into moods/vibes and genres, and tend to enjoy 'older' music more. I love listening to music from around the world, something to break up American media hegemony. Check out the My Analog Journal YouTube channel—it's my all-time favorite! Recent highlights: Donny Hathaway, Gregory Porter, Putumayo, dancehall, amapiano, Afrobeat Movies - anything and everything - foreign, classic, obscure, timeless, epics Recent watches: The Wire (I understand why they say it's one of the all-time greatest), Gladiator, Dune Books - Recent favorites: Prophet Song, On Love and Barley: Haiku of Basho, The Dhammapada, Meditations for Mortals, Autobiography of Malcolm X, How to Say Babylon, Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Trekked to Machu Picchu with a friend on the Salkantay trail. It took us 4 days and was absolutely exhilarating. Traveled by scooter from the north to the south of Vietnam. I was on the road for over 45 days and traveled more than 1,300 miles in total Taught English for free to kids in the Vietnamese countryside - Nghe An province Circumnavigated the U.S. on a train over the span of a month! I'm about to visit my 30th country, just in time for 30 years!

I miei interessi
Too many to count! Variety is indeed the spice of life. If you're not learning something new, you're not living. I want to spend my life in new places, learning, doing, and seeing new things. I hope to make a difference along the way :)
