Last July I left my job at a human rights NGO where I was a program manager to travel! Over the summer and fall I backpacked around Europe, mostly staying in hostels but I had an amazing couch surfing experience. Now, I'm in Chile and am hoping to do more! I love getting to meet new people, and I am really trying to learn Spanish while here.

I'm a Trump-hating American, Friend of the Pod, lover of books and food.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm embarking on an undetermined period of travel. I'm hoping to try farming, hostels, airbnb, couchsurfing, etc. as different ways to travel during this time period. I think couchsurfing is a super unique way to meet people and get to know a new place. I'd be very excited to get some insider tips!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I co-officiated the marriage my two best friends this year! Not sure how well my credentials hold up outside of the States, but I'm hoping to not get rusty!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'm a decent(ish) cook and would be happy to make dinner one night! Vegetarian or pescatarian cooking is mostly my specialty but definitely not limited to just that style.

I also love a good conversation. About books, the current time, politics, history. I'm happy to learn from you and see what I can share from my perspective.
