Hey! I recently moved to Lexington to do community organizing and justice work. I live with my wonderful partner and his adorable guide dog. We love hiking, camping, board games, and trying to garden on our tiny balcony!

What else..... I love exploring, gardening, hiking, making art, cooking, reading, and enjoying good food with good friends. I'm a wanna-be rock climber. I'm a great cook but a terrible baker since I always forget to measure my ingredients :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet thoughtful and kind people with interesting stories, and I want to share my thoughtfulness and stories in return!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge reader. I love books that make me laugh or cry or both, cheesy romance novels, nonfiction about the state of the world, and poetry (especially Wendell Berry, Andrea Gibson, and Mary Oliver).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of backpacking in the wilderness of the United States and Ecuador. An amazing thing I did this summer was lead a coming-of-age trip for teenage girls on a 3-week remote backpacking and canoeing program in Maine, USA! Our longest day was 16 hours hiking up Mount Katahdin with fully loaded backpacks!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning how to be zero-waste and trying to make less trash! I can share what've I've learned so far and I'd love to learn from you too :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very easygoing and open! I always do the dishes, and would love to share some of my family recipes. I have experience on small organic farms and with basic carpentry. I also have teaching and nannying experience. I'm happy to do whatever chores need to be done!
