CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what the heck I am doing.

ABOUT ME

Hey all! I am a Master's student of Anthropology at George Washington University focusing in International Development. I love languages, traveling, wine, running, hiking, learning how to cook the various dishes of the world, learning everything in general, and getting to know new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone should love what they are doing. No one should ever feel like they don't have the ability to be happy, especially when it is so easy to change the things that keep us from happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
