CURRENT MISSION

To be wholehearted, grateful, honest, and committed

ABOUT ME

A creative, thinking, curious, independent woman. Woops, I just realized I have more than one line. Increasingly interested in experiencing new cultures, new people, and breaking the fear of not venturing out of the comfort zone. Also increasingly, I like the simple things- good food, good coffee, good work, nice weather, and good play.

PHILOSOPHY

Ahhhh, a few thoughts: You can understand your life, or you can live it, but you can't seek to do both at once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed both in the US and in Europe, and now that I have my own studio, I'm looking forward to returning the favor when I can, and keeping that traveling lifestyle present while I'm not traveling myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Both surfing and hosting. And general support/advocacy of doing both.

Interests

Some topics I really enjoy doing/talking about: meditation, pranks, sitting lazily over coffee, education, local food, amateur art projects, psychology, tattoos, blogging, "taboos"
