CURRENT MISSION

Write, save money, etc.

ABOUT ME

I've lived a lot of places. I grew up American, but as I lived abroad more and more, I got more in touch with the Czech half of me. I adapt well. I like the new and different.

I read, I write, I eat, I cook, I like to walk. I knit, too.

I LOVE BASEBALL (specifically, the Boston Red Sox.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have done some couchsurfing. Hoping to be in a position to host someday soonish.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed a couple of times, but with good results, just when I needed a cheap place to stay on short trips.
