CURRENT MISSION

combining worktime with sillytime

ABOUT ME

I fill my spare time with yoga, reading, hula hooping, drinking hoppy brews or kombucha, and enjoying good cinema.

PHILOSOPHY

You can tell a lot about person when they react to these three things: lost luggage, rainy days, tangled christmas tree lights.

I work at the only collectively owned restaurant in Virginia and am currently entrenched in the co-op business model movement. I'm always looking for opportunities where people can work together to benefit the community as a whole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our house has turned into a couchsurfing hub. We've hosted people camping for labor day weekend, overnighters who just need a place to crash, people who want to check out the hiking spots and city excitement, and people attending/working various bluegrass festivals. We even hosted a guy who was walking across the country.

Basically I am on couchsurfing because I love meeting all kinds of people. The world has become so interconnected it is a crime not to take advantage of it! And when I travel I like to delve into a culture. Couchsurfing is THE best way to do this!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified yoga instructor and love to teach and practice.

I love languages! Probably one of the major reasons why I travel.

Share? I share my couch! :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some yoga, cook for you, and engage in friendly conversation. I'm always down to 'experience the night life' but also enjoy a nice night in over a good beverage with good company. I'm pretty easygoing and will always respect your space!
