Writer. Activist. Mindfulness. Wanderer.

I write about social justice issues. Am deeply curious about people and ask a ton of questions. Love exploring new places and often do it by myself! Prefer public transportation over private car. Prefer fresh air over air conditioning. Love getting to know locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First time trying CouchSurfing - eager to give it a shot.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, yet.

Interests

I like to spend a lot of time alone, as I can get a very good sense of my surroundings that way. I've been exploring a lot of different ways to spend alone time (i.e. besides reading books at a coffee shop, but also going to the movies, or dining alone.) I find it to be empowering and therapeutic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling alone in Peru made me more alert and observant as a foreigner. Getting scammed in Malaysia was not so amazing, but left me awestruck...and shocked...lesson learned. Visiting and dining with a local family in Cuba shed light into what life was like for many Cubans.
