I run an NGO called The Changemaker Project which empowers youth to create positive change in the world. I started it because I am passionate about social and environmental justice and believe in the power of education for social change. So far we have reached youth in 35+ countries and we would like to reach even more (maybe through Couchsurfing! 😊) Check it out: www.thechangemakerproject.org.

I am also pursuing a PhD in comparative international education at UCLA, and my research is about how schools around the world cultivate empathy. If you know any teachers I could talk to, please send them my way!

In 2017, I traveled for four months exclusively Couchsurfing and it was the best time of my life. I love the community here and have met some of the most generous and kind people in the world who have offered their homes to me. I enjoy hosting as well and learning from the people I meet :)

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from different cultures, and I think it's a great way to travel and learn about the world.

Interessi

I like to get outdoors as much as possible. I'm pretty obsessed with sailing, but I also enjoy hiking, skiing, swimming, biking, slacklining, climbing, etc. Indoors I do a lot of sewing and dressmaking, art (printmaking, painting, photography), knitting, etc.

Musica, film e libri

I tend to read a lot of Buddhist psychology books (Thich Nhat Hanh is my favorite :)

I also like books about physics, neuroscience, entrepreneurship, sociology, etc.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Helped my sister give birth (twice!) Best experience of my life. ❤️

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach knitting, sewing, vegan cooking, kombucha brewing, yoga, meditation or NVC (nonviolent communication).

I'd like help learning French and Spanish.

I've been told that the best gift you can offer someone is your smile, and it doesn't cost you anything :) I try to live by this.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I will cook for you and mend your clothes!
