ABOUT ME

I am wonderfully cheerful. I love spending time outside hiking, running, swimming, biking. I love my family and the stuff I'm studying at school - gender identity, LGBTQ+ wellbeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

2025 Update: I still love making connections and I'm still traveling a couple of times a year for academic conferences. Hands down, the best bit of traveling is making new conenctions in farflung places. I look forward to getting to know you!

Make connections places I go - I often travel alone for school conferences!

Interests

Reading, running, hiking, traveling, conversing. I love classics like Tolstoy and fantasy like harry potter and robin mckinley. Currently reading a Brandon Sanderson novel, all creatures great and small by James Herriot, and lost time by Proust.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sufjan Stevens, Iron and Wine, Joanna Newsom, Bon Iver

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feeling my body caught in the middle of a large swell while body surfing outside of a small village in Mexico. I loved the feeling of being pressed from top and bottom and kept right in place, flying, in the middle of this wave.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will most likely be out and about exploring during the day, but I love a good conversation at the end of the day!
