CURRENT MISSION

Go KAYAKING... (!!!)

ABOUT ME

Animal lover, writer, semi-vegetarian. I love mountains and hiking and biking! Amateur guitar player.

I love nature in general, but at-heart I'm a city girl, born and raised. Love graffiti, parks, underground art, and local music scenes.

PHILOSOPHY

And it harm none, do as you will.
Think global, act local. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host at the moment, but only offer my time. I live with 4 other people (and a cat), and as you can imagine, our space can get cramped. Let's be friends anyway, though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed some couches in Brazil and Argentina. I haven't had the chance to host people yet, though, because I found out about CS while traveling.

I had a lot of fun in Argentina. I had two wonderful hosts who actually befriended me and spent time with me. One of them even bought me medicine when I got sick and still did not kick me off her couch. Lovely people. I wanna share that kind of hospitality one day.

Interests

SAVING THE WORLD! YAY, TREES! Also, silly viral internet clips, and the general effect of the media on society, female sexuality, and the way ethnicity is perceived/ identified/ acted out, fairies, monsters, ghosts, and playing dress-up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a barista! I could probably teach you a little bit about coffee brewing methods, though I am still learning more and more myself each day.

Would love to learn more about bike touring and how to speak Japanese.
