ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in environmental studies. I am currently preparing for a trip to the Middle East where I will be working on environmental peacemaking efforts. I have traveled quite a bit and I love going new places and meeting fellow travelers! I am fairly new to CS but I've heard good things about it from friends and I'm looking forward to joining this community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a number of couch surfers, although we connected via word of mouth before I new about this site! It's been great to offer people traveling in California a place to stay because there are often very few hostels out here and it can be hard for travelers to find places to stay and meet people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taken a number of vegan and raw vegan cooking classes and I would love to share a meal and some recipes.

I would love to share with people my passion for the environment, non-violent communication and experience with grassroots organizing and institutional transformation.

I am studying arabic and would love a chance to learn more and practice what I know.
