About Me

Queer feminist aspiring to use multilingualism and translation as decolonizing practices in solidarity with resistance movements seeking justice around the world! Right now I'm mostly just biking around though :).

Let's hang out and talk about language, life, and books over a hike or a hot cup of tea.

General lover of art and literature and the great outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

**** 2022 update! Right now I'm back in Pittsburgh, PA, USA going to Nursing school. I hope to be back out on the road sometime, but for now I'm very rooted here! Happy to meet up in Pittsburgh or chat online in the meantime :)

Here's what I wrote back in 2015, not really relevant anymore but a nice memory :)............................. I'm doing a cycling tour through Europe! So far I've cycled from Oslo to Prague, a bit in Poland, through the mountains in Slovakia... Next back to Prague and then ???

Looking for hosts, friends, and cycling partners along the way!

Back home in Pittsburgh I live in a shared house with 5 people and 1 couch, which is unfortunately reserved for family and touring queer punk bands. Hoping to move to Dublin in the next year, though, and I look forward to hosting people there!

In the mean time I'm happy to share tips about Pittsburgh or a meal if I'm around there, or to meet up on the road or pass you some bike route info!
