ABOUT ME

I grew up in a rural town in California, lived in Seattle for school, moved to Chicago for two years, and recently quit my job to go on an extended bike tour from Maine to Florida with my boyfriend. (See here: http://www.thisthingthatplace.com)

I've been vegan for 7 years. My boyfriend is pescatarian. He is an avid cyclist and lover of music and Woody Allen movies. I'm a graphic designer and love cooking, animals, and collecting terrible jokes.

We just finished a book. You can learn about it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1197344604/reasons-to-go-outside-a-seattle-parks-project

PHILOSOPHY

Make things from scratch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Little experience. Lots of experience on Warmshowers.

Interests

I love cooking, bad jokes, eclectic movies, and biking.

Once I have a home again, I'd like to get into: wine making, gardening, making more vegan cheese and kombucha, pickling vegetables, mushroom cultivation, and perfecting vegan soul food recipes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a Buddhist all girls boarding school when I was in high school. I'm on a bike tour right now that is constantly leaving me awestruck! We have been on the road for 3 months and every day is something new. We've cycled by bears in New Jersey, stayed with goats in Massachusetts, stealth camped at a closed summer camp in Connecticut, and have met so many wonderful people.
