CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I recently moved to Seattle. I'm getting my Masters of Public Administration at UW in Seattle.

I used to live in San Francisco, California (I know I need to update my profile..).
I also spent a year living in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

I'm curious, easy going, fun loving, and open minded. I care about justice of all kinds. I do my best to treat the people I meet, the people I love, and the earth with respect.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My housemates and I used to host people at our home in San Francisco. I've stayed with friends & friends of friends. I've had friends & friends of friends stay with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
