CURRENT MISSION

'I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.' -E.B. White

ABOUT ME

I like to run and row and read and hike and see as much of the world as I can. I seem more spontaneous than I am, but if there is a body of water nearby I will jump into it. I drink more coffee than a normal human.

PHILOSOPHY

'If you want to be happy, be.'

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I just started couch surfing this year when I backpacked through the Balkans, and the it was one of the absolute highlights of the trip. I love meeting new people, and I think there is nothing better than seeing a city the way locals see it.

Intereses

Pancakes. Junot Diaz. Almond milk. Becoming ambidextrous. Languages. Psychology. Every sport that exists. Pottery. List-making. Flash fiction. Hummus. New places. Anything that could be considered an adventure (even if it requires some optimism).

Algo increíble que he hecho

I spent a few days in Stockholm and went out on a floating sauna, where we sat until we had to break through the ice to jump into the Baltic Sea. It was freezing and ridiculous and invigorating and perfect.

Also: Santorini. It was so beautiful I almost couldn't breathe.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love to learn and teach languages.
