ABOUT ME
Formerly Istanbul, formerly formerly NOLA, now I am in Thessaloniki
I'm a pretty laid-back girl who loves to make new friends over a beer. I have been described as "dark," "funny," "slow," "a danger to herself and others," and "you have really freakishly small ears."
I like Tom Waits, Bon Iver, Des Ark, New Orleans, night walks, books, bars, secret levee treehouses, being loud, being quiet.
PHILOSOPHY
"'Cause every place I go I take another place with me."
--Justin Vernon
"Every place I leave, by accident I leave a piece of me."
--Aimee Argote
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
A friend swung through who was travelling the country using CS. My roommates and I jumped all over it.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted a few people in New Orleans and it led to fantastic adventures.
I've used it to surf at a crazy commune/farm in West Texas desert. It was awesome.
Interests
the Mississippi, industrial junkyards, night train horns, north korea, exploring, bright paint on broke-down buildings, radiators, scotch-taping my mouth shut so the bus witches won't steal my teeth, building friends out of sand and/or coconut leaves and/or volleyball, having dreams about reindeer and waking up angry

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I jumped off a bridge into the Vltava River and got picked up by Czech cops. It was stupid.
I saw a priest run into the Black Sea on a freezing night. He gave me a hug. He had a big beard and it was scratchy.
I walked through the market of birds in Istanbul and there were feathers falling out everywhere.
I spent one month in a cottage in rural Eastern Iceland, alone, on an artist's residency.
