Grad student, now lived 2 years in DC, enjoys beer, smiling until my face hurts, avocados, live music, being outside, visiting national parks and hiking all day. I'm interested/maybe work on/absolutely studying and learning about sustainability, public health, or climate change issues.

LGBTQ Friendly... really just friendly to all fellow friendly folk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only hosted, never surfed- though I'm very excited to give it a try at some point hopefully! I've met many people traveling over the years who swear by this site- so here I am. :)

Interests

I like meeting new people. I think couchsurfing might be right up my alley for that reason. I also like riding bikes, drinking, tennis, crocheting, encouraging my friends to do great things, giving hugs, camping, mac n cheese, impromptu swimming, campfires, thunderstorms, and dogs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like foot-stompin' music. I am learning how to blues dance.
I like autobiographies, mostly by Women in different countries and cultures than my own. I also love Sarah Vowell, David Sedaris, Abbey, and any other books that make me giggle and think.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will share meals and a welcoming atmosphere, as long as we all share a mutual respect. I also loooove to take surfers/friends around the city for meals, music, and sight-seeing.
