ABOUT ME

I like jumping in puddles, wearing skirts, putting mustard on everything I eat and doing the dishes (but only when I don't have to). I don't like raisins.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted people in Iceland a while back - and then I got to experience being hosted all over Europe when I went on a backpacking trip. I'd like to start hosting from time to time again!

Interests

I am good at making pancakes, accidentally insulting people, knitting hats and wearing clothes that do not match.

I love playing board games. I try to play the ukulele. I should try new recipes more often.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like cookbooks. A whole lot.

I also like children's literature. Some of my favorites are Momo by Michael Ende, All the Lotta books by Astrid Lindgren and Sophie's World by Jostein Gaardner.

My favorite written-for-adults books are The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Independent People by Halldór Laxness, and The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.

I listen to a lot of folk, country-folk and alt-country. Needless to say, there's not much I like on the radio, though I do like the occasional pop song, and have developed sort of an obsession for electro-pop recently. Some of my favorite artists are Missy Higgins, Fiona Apple, Sia, Jenny Owen Youngs, Laura Marling, Metric, Neko Case, Rilo Kiley, Patty Griffin, Kasey Chambers and Lori McKenna.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew to New Zealand, drove up to Cape Reinga and saw the Tasman Sea meet the Pacific Ocean. That was pretty mind-blowing.
