ABOUT ME

I'm a homebody, and most nights I'd rather make a fabulous meal or have cocktails with friends than spend a night at a club or concert. I read all the time. The second you leave the room I'm reading on my iPhone. In line for bento, before the dentist shows up but after the hygienist has finished cleaning my teeth, in the bath, in the car... I will be reading. I like to grow things, knit things, bike around, wear giant floppy hats and high heels and have a penchant for interesting and obscure words.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the world and its beauty and try to add a little more beauty to it while I'm around.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to couch surfing by a friend and met some of his couch surfers - all wonderful people who inspired me to host and travel as much as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it! I've hosted in Portland and surfed all over the Western US.
