ABOUT ME
Libra ☀️ Scorpio 🌚 and Aries ⬆️
Artist, cat lover, mushroom nerd.
Jessica can offer valuable traits in the event of an apocalypse. Jessica is a 2-time champion leg-wrestler (and can therefore carry 100x her own weight in GOLD), can forage for edible mushrooms, knit us all new lopapeysur, and is just tons of fun.

I am also okay at fly fishing (though I don't really enjoy the killing and gutting parts), tennis, ping-pong, bike riding, (weekday) crossword puzzles, and playing cards with grandparents.

PHILOSOPHY

I’ll try anything twice! (except I’m a pescatarian)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I get my place settled, I would love visitors!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jessie swam in a waterfall in the subtropical rain forest in Bolivia. Also, in Venice Beach, CA the guy with the dog/cat/rat combo is amazing! Its a rat on top of a cat on top of a dog!

Ben and Jessie have both been rope-swinging in Richmond, and there is nothing like it!

Teach, Learn, Share

We might teach you something about art....
We want to learn to speak several languages...
Jessie can share cooking delicious meals, and Ben is quite an entertainer. He can juggle, play banjo and unicycle (and is working on doing all 3 at once!)
