Overview
About Me
I'm currently working as a journalist, photographer and documentarian. I've also gone back to school recently to get my Masters degree in journalism. I'd like to be a teacher someday.
Some of my passions include music, indie films, yoga, vegan cuisine, traveling, house / EDM dancing, and more.
My main passion is fútbol. I live and breathe it. I play whenever I get the chance.
Something to know about me is that I'm very committed to activism that builds social and economic justice in Chicago, and beyond. I also want to have fun, travel the world and meet interesting people along the path of exploring the beauty in this world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I don't like hotels and I love the idea of connecting with local people. Hostels are nice, too, but I love the idea of being inside someone's home. It is more interesting, to me. I think we can move beyond transactions that involve currency and move towards building transformative experiences.
