About Me

The child of a nurse and a lumberjack, I grew up in rural Washington and suburban Detroit, raised by horses and books and the contrast between places.

Former professional and current recreational cook. Bicyclist. Bookworm. Radical queer femme; intersectional feminist. Blues and fusion dancer. Lapsed knitter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make genuine connections with new people. To share meals and laughter and conversation. To dance and explore together.

Interests

Food and dancing, all day, every day. Bicycles. Great beer (all fancy booze, really). Social justice. Cooperative living. All things queer. Books, books, books.

Music, Movies, and Books

Blues, Jazz, Electronica -- things that make me dance.

Abiding love for young adult fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skinnydipping in the Mediterranean under a red moon, then djing and dancing til dawn in the sand.

Feeding 200+ hungry dancers in an off-the-grid kitchen, deep in California's coastal forest.

Bicycling just over 100 miles in a day, from Portland, Oregon, USA to the Pacific Ocean, with one of my beloved partners.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to cook together and share recipes, eat at your favorite restaurants.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great food and conversation. An introduction to blues dancing.
