ABOUT ME

I read a lot, I speak Spanish, and my Southern accent comes out when I'm tired.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your bliss.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed, I've hosted, and I've met a lot of people. I stopped hosting for a while and just now started again, and I love it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thus far I have couch surfed in Boston, Rhode Island, Orlando, Russia, Estonia, Finland, Paris, and Madison, Wisconsin. I've hosted some incredible people and met many more. I love it. This website is amazing.

Interests

LANGUAGES. Dance, craft beer, European soccer, hedgehogs, carving pumpkins, pretending I can play guitar, and probably anything you're interested in.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been through every music stage, from 90s rap to death metal to soul/funk/R&B to classic rock to punk to indie to reggaeton. Right now I'm really into old blues albums, but I'm one of those annoying people who says they listen to everything, and I mean it. I have way too many favorite books, but some of my favorite authors are Isabel Allende, Neruda, Eduardo Galeano, Italo Calvino, Michael Lewis, Simon Kuper, Junot Diaz, Philip K. Dick, Rumi, and Vladimir Nabokov. I love book nerds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed up the side of an active volcano in Costa Rica. I've also been on TV in Russia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will learn anything you can teach me. I can teach Spanish, some belly dance, and a smattering of Russian. And I can tell stories and make amazing molasses cookies.
