ABOUT ME

I'm Beth and I like people.My friends have called me the Asian Juno, presumably for my wit and not for my life choices.I'm a writer and I own amazing polar bear pajama pants*. These may be my two greatest assets.My job involves mentoring college students, who are most excellent people to hang out with and usually better than I am at Super Smash Bros.I hope to be a mediocre guitar player someday. />I spent a year based in Paris while working as a reporter for an NGO operating in the Middle East.I feel loved when people make me food, because I am a disaster in the kitchen and generally live off Ramen and spaghetti.I like climbing things, such as rocks, trees, and skyscrapers (the last only applies after particularly unusual spider bites). *That is, pajama pants depicting polar bears, not pajama pants made from polar bear. What do you take me for?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I'm just surfing, but I hope to host someday!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just beginning my CouchSurfing journey - here's to many an entertaining tale worth telling! Other travels have led me to rushing creeks, abandoned treehouses, Polish med students, scary giant fish, wildflowers, sketch Turkish fishermen, and the Mediterranean Sea.
