I'm a student at the University of Minnesota traveling around the Balkans for the summer, mostly solo. I'm currently living on the fly in Albania and looking to meet people. In a few weeks I'm hoping to put down some roots in Belgrade by volunteering at a refugee aid organization for a month.

Active moments involve hiking, kayaking, rollerblading, mountain biking, yoga...

Slower moments involve writing, drawing, meandering, and finding new music

I’m a curious person and love learning from others’ passions and talking about any subject under the sun :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm interested in pursuing refugee studies/human rights law down the road, and plan on volunteering at a refugee relief NGO in Belgrade in July. I haven't connected with couchsurfers in a couple years, but I'm looking forward to jumping back in :-)

I'd love to connect with others as I travel around the Balkans, especially people with similar interest in migration studies

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music ~ My artists of the moment are Sudan Archives, Ari Lennox, Tom Misch. Will never get sick of 90s hip hop and R&B :D and I love classics for long drives—especially Bob Dylan & Grateful Dead. Funk too

Top 3 Movies ~ Amelie, Lost in Translation, Silence of the Lambs

Authors/books ~ oh, this changes a lot. Right now, Zadie Smith, Albert Camus, George Saunders, Mary Oliver, and Noam Chomsky. I love short stories. I've been reading more lately about war, conflict, and transitional justice
