About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See more, love lots.

ABOUT ME

don't cry over the weather. passionate procrastinator. photography, finger painting and music enthusiast. play drums, guitar and violin.

Real Story: I'm 22. I went to NYU and developed my fascination with political theory. I backpacked through Europe with a lover when I was 19, studied abroad in Ghana when I was 20 and lived in Indonesia for a bit when I was 21. I am applying to grad schools to study international development and public health.

I'm pretty laid back, enjoy sleeping on the floor, am not bothered by noise...will trade musical musing for a couch!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just signed on. I'd love to get involved, surf a few couches. I believe people have much more in common than they want to admit and that we need more compassion in the world...so I support this community and am excited to participate for now as a surfer.
