CURRENT MISSION

I'm not sure what the future holds, but I am learning that I am going to play an active role in shaping it.

ABOUT ME

I am serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Azerbaijan. I love exploring cities, trying new foods and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
-Mother Teresa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I am able to. It is great to share the work that I am doing as a Peace Corps volunteer with others and to meet others who are interested in Azerbaijan.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed once or twice and it was a really interesting experience. I am hoping to host a few people in the future as well!
