CURRENT MISSION To say/do something encouraging and meaningful in all of my interactions. Being fake is too much work. ABOUT ME Might engage you in an intellectual conversation, or just have a drink with you. Either one is fine :) PHILOSOPHY The best advice I have ever been given was also the simplest and I have tried to live by it every day since the first time I heard it when I was a 13 years old. "Work hard. Be nice."

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have not hosted anyone because I live in a small town, but I would be happy to. I plan on couch surfing more when I travel COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Good so far.
Musica, film e libri
I love all kinds of music, movies, and books. I could never pick a favorite, but here is what comes to mind right now. If you ask me tomorrow, my answers will change. Movies: Seven Pounds, Pay it Forward, Like Water for Chocolate Book: Tuesdays with Morrie, The Little Prince, Borderlands/La Frontera Music: All kind of Spanish music, Afrobeats, Mumford and Sons, basically anything I can dance to or use on a work/study night
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
I participated in various Human Rights marches in multiple cities across the US. My favorites have been a march for immigration reform in Chicago and a march for fair food and farmworkers' rights in Miami. The sense of unity and kindness you feel from complete strangers is so refreshing.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I was a Spanish teacher so I can definitely teach anyone Spanish. However, I can share my knowledge of many other topics with anyone who is willing to listen. I am even more excited to learn from other people. Fun fact: The Spanish word for shoes is "zapato." The word for shoe in Bemba (Zambian language) is also "zapato." Colonization? Globalization? You decide.
