I’m Elias! I’m 21 and am an independent, freelance journalist who is very interested in people’s autonomy and power. I am very low maintenance (like… very lol), and am always open to chat about ANYTHING! I love being with people and hearing about their lives. I am a big listener, but can make some rapport on the spot lol. I hope to be a friendly presence in your home where you pick my brain about anything.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I’m a first-generation Stanford student whose frankly burntout by college. This independent journalism i do has helped reinvigorate my love of studying the world. I am always open to share the stories I’ve observed in Latin America and just my thoughts about what it means to be working class in the USA.
