CURRENT MISSION

Small-town Virginian making her home in the big city of Chicago!

ABOUT ME

My laugh has been described as being "like tumbling puppies."

PHILOSOPHY

It gives me great joy to make others happy with small acts of kindess! I live to seek out the beautiful moments in life: laughter with friends, brightly colored flowers, light shining on the river, whispers in your ear... And to make life as beautiful as possible for others!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

There is something really special about welcoming faraway strangers into your home. Couchsurfing is a unique, open community that I have cherished. After college, I worked in Seattle, where I lived in a home that hosted many Couchsurfers. I enjoyed meeting our many guests and hearing their stories. I hope to have more wonderful Couchsurfing experiences!
