About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Do something good for the world
ABOUT ME
I've been working on fair trade for several years, as activist, researcher, teacher, and student, striving to learn more and improve the movement. I love to travel, love to eat, love to dance, and love to engage with people and learn about things that are most important to them in this complex world. Currently living in Mumbai and working for an amazing NGO, as well as doing some research on the side.
PHILOSOPHY
Stolen from my facebook, but serves as a pretty accurate summary:
"When the world is burning, the important thing to ask is what is being born?" -Global Oneness Project
"If there is anything you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."-Goethe
"Live to the point of tears." -Albert Camus
"You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the gal who'll decide where to go." -Dr. Seuss
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I first discovered CS while in India, so while I've only been able to surf, I can't wait to host people when I settle down in a place, most likely back in NYC, or grab a coffee with some folks in Mumbai.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfed several times in India and met a bunch of great folks.
