Hello! I'm Jane.

I love e.e. Cummings and Mark Helprin. I write poetry, creative non fiction and prose.

I hike, dance, practice yoga daily, meditate, and run. I also dabble in Muay Thai and crossfit.

I was a student at St. John's in Santa Fe for two years, then transferred to Bard College in New York, where I completed my degree in literature. Currently taking time to consider graduate programs and travel plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a truly beautiful service. I've done an extensive amount of traveling, and the blessing of warm, open people made those trips what they were. I want to perpetuate that kind of connection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the Camino del Santiago

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to discuss the nature of reality, as we humans perceive and interact with it. The development and betterment of our experience and impact is of profound interest to me. I will most likely do my graduate work on the nature of the human's agency and evolution; I would love to hear any and all thoughts on this topic!

I travel with a chess set. Always ready for a game.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you come to Kingston, you are welcome to make art with me in my studio, have coffee with me at my favorite coffee shop, and explore the waterfront and the various hiking trails. It's a sweet place.
