CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people, hearing their stories, exchanging points of view, eating good food, dancing, writing.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, drinking coffee or wine, writing, and playing/cuddling with my cat. I spend a lot of time thinking about how people work, and how the world works. I'm more than a little ridiculous and love to laugh.

My graduate work in psych focused on trauma and resilience (research and therapy). I care about social justice issues, trying to help people have access to the resources they need, and making the world a little brighter.

To balance, I tango. It's amazing.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. Kick ass at the things that are important to you. Turn regrets into lessons.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people as much as I love going to new places. I'd much rather make a genuine connection with someone, get to know them, and learn what they love about a city than go to a thousand tourist traps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been incredibly kind to me. I met another surfer in Providence, made friends of the amazing hosts I had in Ann Arbor, and made a couple of great connections when in Montreal for a tango festival. I have only good things to say about it. Can't host where I am currently, but I hope to someday.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Too many to count!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I can teach you to knit, make soda from water kefir grains, speak in abab, and make really good truffles and bananas foster. Or, I could teach you 30, which is arguably the most awesome card game ever.

We could trade stories, ideas, and experiences. I have yet to meet someone who isn't interesting.
