About Me

Philosophy:
Sail away from the safe harbor..-Mark Twain

About Me:
I am an open-minded person and I love to learn. I love food. I have a strong appreciation for the arts. I just quit my boring legal assistant job to backpack Europe.

Current Mission:
Learn through travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love sharing experiences and swapping stories. I believe that one of the best ways to get to know a city is through the locals.

If there is anything I learned in reading the Odyssey is that, hospitality is everything! (Unless you are a siren) And that extending hospitality to strangers is one of the most gracious things a person can do.

Interests

Travelling (given..haha)

Other than that, I like thinking of "would you rather.." questions, binge watching TV shows, going to the (very) occasional music festival, reading the world news, playing with my dog, being outdoors, taking pictures, and obsessing over the fate of humanity. I like conspiracy theories, documentaries, and cooking and travel shows. Oh. and of course, the occasional discussion about politics is welcome! ( was a polisci major in undergrad).
