I am passionate about social work and Waldorf education, I love writing and hiking, and am a curious yet laid back person. I am working towards becoming a guidance counselor and in my spare time enjoy traveling, being outdoors, dancing and live music. I appreciate good times with friends and solitude equally and consider myself a pretty well rounded individual. I have lived in a 2 bedroom apartment in Western Mass for the last 5 years, subletting to various people through Craigslist and am very at ease in new situations and with a variety of personalities : )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved to the area from Northampton, Massachusetts hoping to settle down over the summer as I will be attending the Rudolf Steiner School in Fair Oaks in the fall. I fell in love with this area when I came to visit in December and just couldn't wait to get out here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waded through the many layers of someones schizophrenic hallucinations to pull them back to reality.
