Transitioning back into life in a beautiful college town, cultivating my community of friends, working on home and yard improvement projects, engaging in meaningful work at work, and taking the dog for lots of sniff walks around my neighborhood.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I got into Couchsurfing when I studied abroad in France in 2011-2012. I thought it was a really fun way to travel and I enjoyed meeting so many people through it. I have not been active since I came back to the states because I find that we usually end up camping/avoid big cities, so we don't look for people to stay with. I hosted a travelling band one time, but otherwise haven't been a host through Couchsurfing. I hope to host someone again in the future, but I'm not sure when that will happen.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Of course this is so broad. I sometimes can't help singing, but would not say that I'm tremendously into music (compared to many people I meet). I like listening to music in the car and while cooking, but find I also enjoy silence and/or conversations. I went through a big audiobook phase but haven’t been engrossed in the types of tasks that allow for that sort of distractions in a while, so I’m slacking on my reading. I recently read the Index Card, and now I’m really excited about interest rates.
