I completed two years in Senegal with the Peace Corps in November, 2015. These were beautiful, busy, hot years. I worked in agriculture and forestry, and really loved the experience. As any traveller knows, returning from an extended amount of time abroad can be a challenging experience. I have ended up in Oakland, California, a diverse and fascinating city, which just keeps getting better.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted a few surfers in when I was in College in Santa Cruz. All awesome people. I enjoyed couch surfing a few different times around Europe while I studied abroad. This is an amazing thing.

Intereses

I love learning about History, Nature, Philosophy, Agroecology, and am trying to get into computer programming.
I love being active with stuff like running, mountain biking, hiking and I've been getting into tennis recently. When I'm not doing any of these other things I am probably traveling, reading...

Algo increíble que he hecho

Kodiak Island Alaska might trump it all. Until I biked across Guinea-Bissau and Guinea.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I enjoy people who carry the spirit of adventure and are open minded, thoughtful and reflective. In recent years I have mostly grown away from the loud, boisterous nature of my college years. I appreciate thoughtful, kind people who get their high from things like exercise and learning.
