ABOUT ME

I love to travel, to explore, to meet new people, to think new thoughts, to be outside, to dance, to sing, to cook and eat delicious food, to laugh, to play, to be silly, to be challenged to grow, to ask questions, to connect, to enjoy, to live fully and freely, and in the words of the poet Mary Oliver, "to be idle and be blessed."

PHILOSOPHY

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear...I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."
— Henry David Thoreau

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to make new friends in Boston through the CS community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled extensively, and while I haven't used CS a ton, I have had the pleasure of meeting some lovely folks through CS in Latin America, the Middle East, and right here in the USA.

Interests

I love cultural activities- theater, music, dance, art, etc. I love good food and wine. I enjoy being outdoors in nature, and hiking and playing frisbee. I like exploring new places, and learning new things. And of course I love to meet new people!
