About Me

I am currently wrapping up my undergraduate education. For the past three years I've been a student of culture - both in the classroom and out. A BA in Intercultural Studies sounds a bit strange and useless to some, but for me it put ground and educational process to all of my values, passions, and beliefs. Being a student of culture has taught be how to be a better person. I have also learned that we must always be teaching others. Our lives exist to love and to teach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to do what I love - connect with people, experience local culture, teach, and learn while traveling. I am here to share life. I believe we are all far more similar than we are different. I am excited for meaningful conversations and expanding my own world view while hopefully encouraging others to do the same!
