This year, I'm struggling for depth- get the the nitty gritty of all I claim to know and all I wish I knew (about history, gender, cooking, art...).
I've lived on four continents and each has become home- Varanasi, India, California, Ecuador, Germany. I tend to hold these experiences close and the convictions that go with them.

When not working over my head engaging with the world through my job, studies, clubs and so on, I tend to be spacing out in wonderment and enjoying the world- travelling, experimental dancing, attempting to blog, journalling, and long walks with an ipod.

PHILOSOPHY
Deal with all the shit.
Be humbled by the universe.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To come face to face with new perspectives of a place. I've met amazing people on the road and had fascinating people come to me.

Traveling should always be this easy and this personal.

Intereses

I enjoying going on walks in town or in nature, photography, listening to music and writing in my journal. I love traveling by bus or train. I have been journaling all my life.

I love dancing, full expression. It's been a long standing passion, still sitting on the shelf for now I'm afraid. I've explored merengue, oriental, Kathak, contemporary, Zouk.

Intercultural Psychology and counseling fascinate me. Anything that brings strange people together.
