ABOUT ME

I love trying new foods when I travel. I like being outside. I love to dance the polka!

PHILOSOPHY

I was in Germany with my cousin when she asked me what I would choose to do at that very moment if I could do anything in the world.

I told her I'd be traveling, meeting new people, trying new things.

Which was, of course, exactly what I was doing. It was a nice feeling to realize I was exactly where I wanted to be right then.

My philosophy: create these moments, even from little things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met and stayed with Couch Surfers from Hawaii to South Africa and have enjoyed it every time!

Interests

shenanigans, scarves, buying in bulk, dictionaries, lengthwise rolling (so simple! so unexpected!), socks with sandals, wearing garments that I've owned for one-third of my life or longer, eating capers, having capers, homophones, surprises, the long E sound, peanut butter, planning my escape
