CURRENT MISSION

Try couchsurfing finally, dammit!

ABOUT ME

I'm 5'0". I laugh a lot. I talk a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

I live on whims - I think it's the best way to ensure you're doing what you want, when you want it. I've always found spontaneity to lead to the best experiences. While I'm not opposed to having a general plan, I think overplanning leads to too much disappointment when things don't go exactly on target, and you miss the great things that weren't expected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host right now unfortunately, just don't have the set up for it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a lovely gentleman in Seattle with my ex - pretty great experience, not as intimidating as I thought it would be!

Interests

Live shows, beers with friends, secondhand shopping, faux music snobbery, abstract strategy games like the project gipf series, seeing the sites in my own city and beyond. I generally like anything that will amount to a good story and furthered knowledge.
