I am a chef and a student and an queer feminist activist. I love to talk and talk and talk about cities and politics and travels and the last thing you read or saw.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been couchsurfing as a traveler and a host since 2008. I try to take part in bartering/alternative economies as much as possible, and couchsurfing is one of the most successful examples of this, I think. I have had such good experiences.

For me, It's just so much fun to have visitors (because I love hosting and showing folks around) and also everyone I've ever stayed with has been SO AMAZING and made the experience of traveling a billion times better.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a professional chef and I will make you something delicious. I am very crafy and pushy and will probably try to sew your clothes, make you jewelry or knit you a hat, most likely.

Swoon for local recipes / ingredients, directions to the coolest museums and then the coolest parties, and generally down to hang out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

heated conversations, delicious food, dorky knowledge of film and critical theory, my sense of wonder at basically everything
