About Me

TRAVELING RIGHT NOW (so I can't host- sorry!)

CURRENT MISSION

Change the world through compulsive good-doing and witty remarks.

ABOUT ME

Hmmm... I have an extremely strong wander-lust that keeps me on the go. I am a morning person. Some people say I'm the funniest girl they know, and I consider that the highest compliment one might ever receive.

I am a public health microbiology student. The first year can be done online, so I'm using that time to travel around Europe, too!

Just graduated with a neuroscience major. Weird switch, I know, but it makes sense when I explain it! I used a volunteer for GMHC, the very first HIV/AIDS organization in the whole wide world. I answered the phones and answer a lot of good and odd and scary and fake questions. I also volunteered as an ER Advocate for survivors of sexual assault & domestic violence. Equally eye-opening. Lastly, I was a caregiver/companion to one bad ass and lovely 93 year old woman (and some others, but she's my favorite). One of the most valuable and simple lessons: Enjoy being able to control your pee while you still can.

Whew. That's all for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Eh, I suppose if I have one it would be to take opportunities as they come. I've had a pretty incredible life so far because of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting and showing people around! Get in touch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had only awesome couchsurfing experiences. This is the best system ever. I've hosted, surfed, been shown around, and showed around!

Interests

Trying to get my butt out to go running, food, conversation, history books, comic books, antiques, power tools, crossword puzzles, road trips, train trips, being a geek (and the usual trappings that come with that sort of thing), new places, creative ways to be frugal, etc.

My life is a movie. Don't get me started.
