Hi ya'll. I am an all-singing, all-dancing, poetry-writing, soup-making person with a penchant for waking up early, having intense conversations with strangers, and arriving late to almost everything. I like art, plants, people, animals, food, and all sorts of other things that are widely available on this planet. I am talkative, friendly, and full of enthusiasm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just took a cross-country trip with my best friend, and we were blown away by the generosity and sweetness of our hosts and of the couchsurfing community. I'm finally back home and ready to return the favor to travelers passing through the south sound.
