33 years old, and planning my very first trip abroad! I'm excited to embark on this solo journey through Europe! I have not yet had an opportunity to host, but I look forward to offering in the future!

I'm one of 6 siblings in a large, blended family. I'm a very creative person, and enjoy being in new places and soaking up the culture and history!

I am a very liberal person, and part of the LGBT+ community. I am looking for hosts with either similar views, or open minds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting new friends and learning about the culture and life of people in a different piece of this world.

I'm looking for experiences that are less 'touristy' and more real. I want to get to know people, and share my life, culture, and experiences!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy most popular music. I grew up listening to the Indigo Girls. I have a new interest in a Capella (though, I cannot sing!).

Movies: My favorite movies are romcoms, disaster movies, some action, dramedy. If I find a movie I like, I love to watch/listen to it over and over.

Books: Harry Potter (forever!), Fluke (Christopher Moore), The Long Earth (Terry Pratchet/Stephen Baxter)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduate from college!!

I've also been fortunate to have a job where I work with teenagers. It was super awesome to mentor and guide them. I loved it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach knitting!

I'm interested in learning more about painting (particularly watercolor)!

I can share my good sense of humor, hugs (if that's your thing), and intelligent conversations!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be delighted to share information about my home and my life! I'd love to share a positive, happy, thoughtful, globally aware image of the USA.
I am not a Trump supporter.

I can share my enthusiasm for creative pursuits, and my limited baking skills!
