CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to make some new friends in Tacoma.

ABOUT ME

I play roller derby for the Dockyard Derby Dames. I work for a professional orchestra called Northwest Sinfonietta. I enjoy reading, working out, cooking occasionally, and roller skating.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and lighthearted. Know yourself as best you can but don't sweat the confusing times. Try to go with the flow. Stand up for justice. Use reason.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with a John and Gai in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. They were charming, kind, and hospitable and treated my friends and I as if we were their kin. They even picked us up from the airport, fed us meals, loaned us camping gear, and took us hiking up on Mt Wellington. It was amazing!
