CURRENT MISSION

Sail as much as possible. In particular, I am currently aiming to be the first American woman to have completed the OSTAR (the Original Singlehanded Trans-Atlantic Race), a 3000 mile solo race across the North Atlantic, from Plymouth UK to Newport RI, starting 29 May 2017.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
