CURRENT MISSION

Leaving my footprints on the ceiling...

ABOUT ME

I love soy chai and making music, baking and cooking (especially the sweet things!), and connecting with people! I'm a barefoot girl, who would like to eat the cherry tomatoes out of your garden(I'll help weed and tend in return!), and roll around in the sun all day. When night commences; dancing, singing, drinking, philosophizing, socializing... or just a quiet night with a glass of wine or tea, and friends/books/movies/music.

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing in this world that is not possible, and no experience that you cannot learn from.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm in school dorms currently, but the suite is somewhat an apartment setting, so living room couch and floor is all yours! A bit outside of Asheville, with not-so-efficient public transit, but if you're with wheels, you're all set! (I, myself, have no wheels currently.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The couches on porches and in classrooms are the most memorable, unless I count the couch which my sister and I shared [rather than sleep on our bed] most of our young lives.

So far, I have had no CS experiences from this net connection, but I hope to soon!

Interests

Organic food and gardening, cooking, baking, ceramics (I'm an art major with a concentration in ceramics), crafts (I knit, sew, make baskets, play with art supplies, body painting, etc), MUSIC (I've been picking up OldTime fiddle, and I play a little guitar, I sing, I can keep a basic rhythm on a drum/drum set/triangle/tamborine...), walking/hiking, people-watching, poetry, Marilyn Monroe, dancing (I've recently been obsessed with contra dancing, but I swing dance a bit too, and WALTZ, and Tango...), good books, Tea, sustainability, green architecture, alternative medicine/therapy, homemade postcards/anything, and so much more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a neat straw trick which I picked up from Sam Bartlett, banjo player extraordinare, but it's a little tricky to learn unless it's in person. So meet me, and we'll get straws, and make noise!
