About Me

I left my job and am traveling around the world for several months, hoping to get to know the places I've always wanted to visit while I can!

My goal is to learn how to cook new dishes from around the world, and understand the history and culture of a place through food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to get to know the places I visit from a more local perspective and meet new people while doing it!

Interests

Culture - I studied Anthropology and Archaeology and love getting to understand new cultures. I was disappointed with academic anthropology; the relationships with different cultures was often one-sided and exploitative. I want to establish more of a mutual sharing relationship when learning about new cultures and places

Cooking - I love learning to cook new dishes and learn about a place through food. I'm especially intrigued by dishes made from a mix of leftovers (a la gumbo or fried rice) to create a new, delicious recipe.

Board games - Board games are a great way to spend time relaxing, having fun, and getting to know friends!
