CURRENT MISSION

"Destiny is a rendezvous" -Franklin D. Roosevelt (1936)

ABOUT ME

I love DC (I've lived here almost 14 years now) and try to demonstrate this love via my vocation and volunteerism. I'm a feminist. I like maps and collect postcards. I'm an advocate for non-human animals. I enjoy math a lot. I have a cool Siamese cat named Kim.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During the school-year, I host because I have to stay local and work. During the summer and other teacher holidays, I surf. I can help walk dogs, cook food, bike, read stories aloud, hang out on the beach with you, leave a place as clean as I've found it, share experiences and anecdotes, and be a general adventure partner.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started CSing in Montreal while doing a bicycle tour with a pal. After, I hitch-hiked the ring road in Iceland, with the help of CS. Other CS spots have included Haiti, Nuuk (Greenland), and Alaska.

音乐、电影和书籍

I live under a pile of cassette tapes and cds. I enjoy the likes of David Bowie, Frank Ocean, Thelonious Monk, Goldfrapp, Guided By Voices, Edith Piaf, The Dream, Converge, Dinosaur Jr etc etc etc.

I love Graham Greene, Tolstoy, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', and pursuing the catalogue of Erika Lopez.

Some favorite movies, recently, include A Somewhat Gentle Man (En ganske snill mann) directed by Hans Petter Moland and most anything with Queen Latifah in it.

教，学，和分享

I teach decoding and reading comprehension and introductory math. I make up rhyming poems and songs often. I have read a lot of feminist fiction from the 70s to today. I can change a bike tire with relative ease. I scrapbook and sew clothing decently.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Stories, ideas, discourse, respect, consideration, laughs, fun, etc

As for myself, as a host: I don't have the capacity for couples, no one under 22, and preference goes to non-Americans and people in DC doing something interesting and specific
