I'm married to a wonderful man and live in Watertown, N.Y. I'm hoping to become an ADK 46er and I'm learning how to whitewater kayak.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, particularly the type of people who decide to travel to Watertown, NY (DISCLAIMER: It's REALLY REALLY far from New York City).

Interests

Painting, mostly.

• cooking
• traveling
• painting
• hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh dear, almost anything. It depends on my mood. When I wrote my profile, I was reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith, listening to "Shake it Out" by Florence and the Machine on repeat, and in the middle of Saving Silverman on Netflix.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I got lost driving from Utica to Poughkeepsie and I ended up somewhere in the Catskills at sunset. There were all these beautiful mountains and ravines. I'd like to go back, but, unfortunately, I have no idea how I got there in the first place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really good at standardized tests, particularly the LSAT. A pretty useless skill in my current field.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The results of my attempts at cooking, hiking adventures, and surprisingly enjoyable sightseeing.
