CURRENT MISSION

Learn poi; learn harmonica; make cupcakes - can you help me?

ABOUT ME

Ohioan through and through. Back in my state after 18 months in Turkey and Denmark, and I'm very happy to be here again.

I'm queer. I'm vegetarian/vegan. I love learning and reading and researching. I love music - I can't live without it. I'm learning how to play the harmonic and the guitar, and I already play the piano. I love surprises. I love talking to people, trading stories and music. I've taken a fancy (no skill) to playing hacky-sack, so if we meet, let's play!

I think Kentucky is contagious - there is no other explanation for my sudden and exponential affinity for bluegrass music.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect each other. Share what you have :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done nearly equal parts surfing and hosting. Now that I'm settled in a new apartment but very low on travel funds, I'm looking forward to more hosting in the immediate future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surf was in Chile and now I'm addicted. I love surfing AND hosting. It's a brilliant way to share real experiences with real people in real places.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
