CURRENT MISSION

...To jump into the ocean and see how far I can swim...

ABOUT ME

The basics: married graduate student; student of Slavic languages and literature; preparing to move to Seattle; spending the summer in Zadar, Croatia.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day like it's Shark Week.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My house is too small for guests, but I love a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and would be happy to meet anyone for one if they happen to be coming through Lawrence, KS, or whatever city I am currently residing in...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just drinks with different people, but it's all been very positive.

Interests

I love to travel, read, talk, watch old movies, run, do yoga, cook, drink wine, listen to music, learn languages, and the list goes on...

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much to list. Right now I am reading Mama Leone by Miljenko Jergovic, listening to C'etait Ici by Yann Tiersenn, and have been watching nothing because I have no TV.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about modern American poetry, linguistics, or Bikram yoga. In turn, if there is anyone willing to practice Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian or Russian with me, let me know!
