I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, and am based out of Portland, Oregon. Since I finished my undergrad a couple of years ago I've been focused on community organizing, activism, and journalism. I've worked on an organic farm and as staff at a non-profit that works with youth in crisis, and am currently working part-time remotely for a community radio station in Portland. I'm traveling for about two and a half months and hoping to meet like-minded individuals, especially those who are linked into radical and community-based projects for social justice. My main goal in heading to Spain is to improve my Spanish so that I can work more effectively in an advocacy and support role with latin@ immigrant communities where I live.

Also, it's important that you not be homophobic, trasphobic, racist, or sexist, or we will probably not get along!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Estoy aquí para encontrar lugares donde puedo quedar como parte de un intercambio, no como 'vacaciones' . Creo que es importante escuchar, y participar en la cultura y vida cotidiana mas que lo turistico. Por mi, la situación perfecta sería poder quedar en una lugar (una casa; un colectivo; un ocupacion) y contribuir algo - trabajar, limpiar; ayudar con un proyecto; enseñar ingles; traducir algo, cocinar un banquete..

Interests

Me interese escribir, producir media critica, leer, tocar y escuchar música, y mejorar mi castellano. Quisiera aprendar más sobre los varios culturas y idiomas en España (como un país, claro, de muchas mas naciónes que el castellano). También me interese biciclar, trabajar en el jardín, escalar, nadar, correr, cocinar comida sana.
