I'm right in the middle of the introversion/ extroversion scale. I'm a punk want-a-be that's a bit too straight laced for that awesomeness. I'm a feminist and anti-racist.
I like to reflect on self care/ self love, staying grounded, strong social connections, overall wellness.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I actually love the conversation around asking locals about their town or city. So often when I ask this question, get impassioned responses. I get to witness people becoming prideful at describing what makes their area unique, beautiful, and worth spending time on.

I also would argue that you just get a better experience when you talk with people who know the area. If nothing else, you get to know just a little more about the area and are able to put information in a historical context, or just learn about the shortcuts or best biking trails. I just have a more full filling trip when I can do it whiling meeting new friends.

And I am more than glad to do the same for folks coming to stay in my part of the country :)

My favorite travels are when I run into locals who can tell me interesting history or information about the area. I even love asking people about the best things to do in the city, and to get the inside scoop.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love the folksy music of Charlie Parr, Brandi Carlile, and Emmy Lou Harris, to the punk music of Weezer, the White Stripes, and Sleater-Kinney. I still love the music of my childhood including The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beethoven, and Gustav Holst. Indie rock and puck also hold a place in my heart with The Decemberist, Metric, The National, and Rilo Kiley.

Name any movie and odds are I have not seen it.

I really enjoy reading. Favorite books include the Abhorsen Trilogy, the Handsmade Tail, Harry Potter, love in the time of Cholera, and the Dark Materials trilogy. Because I am a social working interested in mental health, I also spend a good amount of time reading books on similar subjects such as Tattoos on the Heart, the Happiness Trap, Waking the Tiger, and the Body Keeps the Score.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

For a while I was working a job that had me working 10 hour days, 6-7 days a week in the Appalachian foothills. My closest co-worker worked an hour away from me, and I would often drive to meet her after a long day/ week. My favorite memories of that those times were driving back home at 5am and watching the fog lay in the valleys of the mountains, evaporating as the sun rose.

I also spent three weeks hitchhiking, busing, and camping around Iceland. It was amazing.
