CURRENT MISSION

To meet cool locals, learn from them, hang out in public squares, enrich myself with the local history and culture, and swap stories about traveling and the strange experiences life throws your way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25-year-old journalist living in Cairo, Egypt, but originally from Portland, Oregon. I have an independent spirit and have been studying Spanish since middle school. I've traveled across Central America, so I'm quite excited to finally go to the beating heart of the Spanish-speaking world.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I respect others' space, clean up after myself, and help out with chores whenever possible. I was raised as a polite person. I prefer couchsurfing because I believe it's the most genuine way to experience a new place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Turkey, and got good reviews :)

音乐、电影和书籍

Jazz, rap, folk, and indie rock. Books and movies: all sorts--I'm currently making my way through the Sopranos.

I love documentaries, and I'm a voracious reader. Currently reading William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, and I recently finished Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, about an American fighting in the Spanish civil war.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I don't know, I guess the mere fact of existing is somewhat amazing.

教，学，和分享

I am intermediate in Persian, learning Arabic, and fluent in English and happy to help you practice with any of them. I've been living in the Middle East for awhile and writing about it for a few years. I also lived in Washington, D.C. for two years, so if you like to talk about politics, foreign affairs (or not: I also love subcultures, literature etc.), I'm your guy.
