I'm a soon-to-be law student interested in migrants' and LGBT rights. Right now I work with children who are in immigration proceedings here in the US. NYC is my intellectual, spiritual and physical home, and I love visiting other cities to connect with like-minded people and strengthen our global community(ies) of queer people, activists, etc.

Also, I love baking.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To share my worldview with others and to get a sense of life for other fabulous people in other fabulous places all over this fabulous world.

兴趣

Sitting at cafes for hours, navigating subways/metros, classic Hollywood, political theory, marveling at Beethoven, being a queer person.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Night train from Barcelona to Granada was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Beautiful scenery and unbelievably kind Andalusian people.

教，学，和分享

I don't think any of these three is possible without the other, (unless you have an imperialist attitude towards learning, which I guess most schools do...phooey.)

Anyway, traveling for me is about understanding how the setting in which I've grown up and currently live has created "me" and comparing that to the way others have been influenced by their setting.

I can also find you really good bagels, pizza, ice cream and assorted other foods in New York if that's a lot.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'd love to chat over drinks or coffee and, if you're interested, over a meal, which I can cook for you! For those making the trip, I can also offer insider NYC tricks, the most important of which is, perhaps, that a-n-y Starbucks can be your free WiFi hotspot and/or bathroom break locale. You don't have to buy anything!

If you're spending a weekend in New York, this website is a lifesaver: https://subwayweekender.wordpress.com. Every week they upload a map of service changes for the upcoming weekend. (As every NYer knows, weekend service changes can be extremely confusing and annoying!) ¡Consultad esta página si vais a pasar un fin de semana en NY para que no os agarren desprevenidos los cambios de servicio!
