ABOUT ME

My boyfriend, Zach, our chocolate lab and I moved to Oregon from Pennsylvania in December 2013. We're loving it so far! We also love to travel and are happy that we're able to open our home and help fellow travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in being a kind person, appreciating the differences in people and places, and living consciously. I believe in approaching every circumstance with an open mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and my favorites would include anything from the late 60's-early 70's, Radiohead, My Morning Jacket, Modest Mouse, Andrew Bird, Devendra Banhart, and tons more
I'm currently into Haruki Murakami, and also just finished reading the song of ice and fire series for the second time. I tend to like anything set in the middle ages, and I love anything by Vonnegut.
