I grew up in DC but moved to New Mexico by myself when I was 19 and have been here ever since. I spent a lot of time traveling around the US following bands and going to National Parks. I went to law school to save the world and for the last 5 years have been working as the Staff Attorney at a non-profit organization in New Mexico which tries to protect federal public land and endangered species in the state.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I was just in Ukraine and met some awesome people through a friend's couchsurfing account, and realized what an amazing thing it can be.
