I'm a small human with bright red hair. I choreograph modern dance and design wedding florals as an occupation or two. I'm rather enthusiastic about life, and I think people are the greatest adventure. I love trying, experiencing, and learning new things: whether it's through my own eyes or someone else's.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling! But what is a place without the people? I think it's the people you meet that make the place something you love. Out of any of my travels, the times I've enjoyed most are the times staying with awesome people.

Interests

People. Coffee (and obsessively perfecting my brewing method). Flowers. My cat. Sid Meier's Civ V. Jungian cognitive functions. Cooking and baking. Tea. Long walks. Interesting conversations. All the books. Artificial Intelligence and deep learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once made a spiced buttermilk cake with a cardamom and ginger cream cheese filling and caramel buttercream frosting. It was divine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit about a lot of random things, but I love learning anything!

I can make you a mean cup of coffee while we chat about life. (:
