CURRENT MISSION

Trying to "arrive at the ground at [my] own feet and learn to be at home" ~Wendell Berry

ABOUT ME

I love schmoozing and gallivanting, find any place and any time acceptable for a dance party, work hard but play harder, and have never met a stranger. I love to travel, but then again, isn't that why we are all here?

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story.

Act justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly.

I am nothing without my community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been back in NC for over a year now, and I couldn't be happier. I've met many of my new friends in the area from participating in the the local couchsurfing community. Now that I own a home, I would love to start hosting again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I slept on a lot of people's couches, beds, floors, camping mats, etc. during my 6 week trip around the country. I hosted like crazy during the years I lived in Indianapolis, and I tried to surf in nearby cities as often as possible on free weekends. I've done a little international surfing but not nearly enough. I have often participated in the local CS community wherever I've lived. I loooove couchsurfing potlucks. Some of my greatest friends have come from CouchSurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Seeing the sunset on top of a Mayan ruin in Tikal, Guatemala.
2. Traveling across the US for 6 weeks with 2 friends in my tiny Yaris.
3. Dancing the night away with the hotel staff in Israel.
4. Meeting some of the greatest girls on a backpacking trip around Europe.
5. Finally going skydiving after wanting to since I was a little girl. It was spiritual. Then taking my boyfriend for a second spin a few years later.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn recipes, dances, games, and languages from your culture/upbringing.

I am always on the lookout for people who want to help me take that first or next step in gardening.
