CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people, seeing new places

ABOUT ME

Hmmm...

PHILOSOPHY

Lately:

"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. It is not your obligation to finish the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm taking this semester (January to May) off to see some more of the world. I'll be WWWOOFing in the US for 2 months and then I'm heading to Spain and France to couchsurf around!

Hopefully, when I'm done, I'll be hosting people at my place in Philly!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2 years ago, I stayed on a small farm in Gualeguaychu, Argentina. We were travelers from Zagreb, Nice, Orlando, everywhere sweating together during the day and breaking home-made bread around one table come nightfall.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Silent highway-driving under a star-choked Arizonan sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak English or Spanish or French with you. (Well, the French is rusty, but I can try.) I can talk your ear off about the importance of worker-student organizing or American race relations. I can help you or your partner stay calm in labor. I can make you a scarf if you give me the wool. I'll be working on a goat farm for the next two months, so hopefully after that, I'll be able to keep your herd alive too! :)

I'll try to learn most anything you're willing to teach me, but also, I reaaaally want to learn how to play the ukelele.
