CURRENT MISSION

Publish or perish, baby!

ABOUT ME

A bit nomadic, though relatively chill through it all. I've lived in different areas of the US and Latin America, and I'm currently living in a little town in Michoacan, Mexico, doing a research project in rural schools. I've also traveled in Europe and India. I love language--speaking it, and especially writing it. And reading. My friend asked if I could go a week without having a book in hand to read. The resounding answer? No!

PHILOSOPHY

Vivimos una vez.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm here to make friends and meet new people. Don't currently have a couch to offer, but I will once I finish school in about another year!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first encounter with Couch Surfers was this past summer (2007) in India. I'm new to the site, but I've traveled lots, and love meeting new people who have big minds and bigger hearts. Currently living in Mexico, I would love to meet more friends throughout the country while I am here.
