ABOUT ME

I'm currently a DC transplant, just trying to fit in a game of hoops with Barry. I recently returned from two years in Ukraine, where I was teaching English as a Peace Corps volunteer. Through and through, I'm a Californian girl at heart.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I am traveling -- looking to connect to real people in new places. I grew up in a tourist town and believe that if you really want to "see" a new place, you should go with someone who lives and breathes it and knows it like the back of their hand. I used to live in a housing cooperative that had its own informal type of CouchSurfing and definitely loved/miss that aspect of my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed in Greece, Ukraine, and Slovakia.

兴趣

I am especially interested in Bay Area rap, food politics, lighthouses, coastlines, urban planning, dark chocolate and dark beer, and amateur guitar-playing.

音乐、电影和书籍

If I had to choose a favourite book (which is an incredibly cruel question) mine would be: The Brothers Karamazov.

As a little girl, I grew up listening almost exclusively to Motown and the Beatles. I'm always listening to: the Smiths, Westside Connection, and french radio.

I love Almost Famous (you can see my history classroom in the film's first five minutes). You can almost always convince me to watch Star Wars.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

"Amazing" is a strong word. Here are two random facts: I once got reprimanded by Ukrainian officials for sitting in a "non-beautiful" manner on a Lenin statue. I once walked past the president of Liberia on my walk home.
