About Me

CURRENT MISSION

DC to San Fran!

ABOUT ME

I am only me. But aren't we all a little bit of everyone really?

More practically I just graduated from college, road-tripped from the East Coast of the United States to San Francisco, and I am currently in the process of building a home here in San Francisco.

PHILOSOPHY

I love that every instant has an infinite number of possibilities. At this moment in my life I could start down one of any number of paths each with it's own set of challenges and joys. This is a terrifying and wonderful prospect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far not much. My friend told me about it a year or two ago. A few months ago another friend brought me to a local CouchSurfer's happy hour. The people were lovely. I made an account. I just Surfed my way across country with a good friend and I hope to eventually become a host once I have a permanent home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been breathing since the day I was born. And so have you. How amazing is that!?

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking brings me peace. Not following a recipe, but experimenting and creating with ingredients at hand.
I'm generally handy with small repair jobs and minor construction.
I have some experience with rainwater collection.
I'd like to learn how to crochet.
