CURRENT MISSION

be happy

ABOUT ME

I am friendly, curious, open-minded, and I think a little weirdness does the world well.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy as long as it isn't truly harming others, and accept what makes others happy if it isn't truly harming others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I am good to contact for hanging out in the city, people coming from out of town, or locals.
In a few months I will be happy to host too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was part of the couchsurfing community last year in Istanbul, Turkey, but could only hang out and occasional surf because I lived with turkish families. This June I couchsurfed in Greece, which was an amazing experience.
Now I live in Chicago, in an apartment with my sister, and I plan to start hosting in a few months when we are all moved in and settled into a schedule.

Interests

I love humor, traveling, art, and people. I love asking questions, and learning from people's stories rather than a textbook. I am really interested in language, but started late in my learning.

• arts
• books
• traveling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every new person I meet makes me excited.

Moment wise, I think when I couchsurfed in Athens and was just hanging out with a group of Greeks on top of some rocks, looking out at all of Athens lit up, and to our right was the lit up Acropolis.. that moment felt p beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning from anyone who is willing to teach to me, and I am interested in learning about anything. I am personally more into the arts community, so as far as teaching goes I would be better there.
