I am a city girl deeply in love with the mountains. I march to the beat of my own drum and say/do strange things sometimes, but I mean well. I believe fresh snow is to be played in-- even if it's midnight on a workday-- and good wine (like a good book) is meant to be shared. In theory, I sleep.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling isn't just about the places you see and the things that you do. It's about the people you meet and the stories you share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once convinced my roommates and friends to play a giant, human version of the kids' board game Hungry Hungry Hippos on the roof of our New York City apartment using moving dollies, rope, laundry baskets, and balloons.

The first time I saw the movie Rocky I was sitting on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum (a.k.a. the Rocky Steps) enjoying my first Tastykake.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always up for trading stories, recipes, knickknacks, and profound life lessons. I've had the privilege of living in many places over the course of my short lifetime so if you want to know where the best cheesesteak is in Philly, where the best views of the New York skyline are, or where to get the freshest apple cider donuts in Virginia wine country, I'm your girl. I'm also told I know a lot of really random things so point me to your nearest pub quiz and let's win us some beers.
