CURRENT MISSION

Live life for the anecdotal. Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college graduate, currently living and working in Kutaisi, Georgia. I will be traveling this summer from June 15th to September 10th.

I sing pretty shamelessly. I'm a gringa.
I love Portland, Oregon, and will talk about it a lot if no one stops me.

PHILOSOPHY

A person only needs four things to live a full life:
Nutrition, education, conversation, and creation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is the first time I have tried to use couchsurfing, but I am hoping to meet a lot of interesting people this summer and trade knowledge and anecdotes.
When I return to Georgia in the fall I would like to host surfers- it is such a pleasure in this country to be around people who speak English! Or Spanish!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet- I'm brand new!

Interests

Animals rank quite highly.
Fruit.
Coffee and tea.
Photography.

I like philosophy. A lot.
Any form of travel that allows you to interact with people that you would otherwise miss in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the animals at the reserve in the Amazon escape daily was pretty incredible. Makes you wonder why we think of animals as so unintelligent. Let me be the first to testify- they are crafty creatures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my English/Spanish/American Sign Language skills with anyone who is curious.
I love thought experiments and philosophy. I also love cooking.

Would like to learn anything you are willing to take the time to teach me.
