About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting settled into the idea of being a grown up, or alternatively trying to avoid it.

ABOUT ME

I love cooking, and I'm constantly trying new recipes, sometimes to disasterous consequences. I eat a lot of vegan and vegetarian meals, but love trying new foods and lately have been eating a lot of fish. I love animals, especially my giant dog. He's covered in spots and full of cuddles. There is so much amazing local music in Little Rock, and I like to go see my friends and their rock and roll. I love meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

People spend so much energy making themselves miserable by trying to control things. All you can do is assess the circumstances as they are, and then make the best choices you can within those circumstances. I live with a lot of intention and try to change the world quietly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosting for a couple of years now and love it. I'm happy to show people around town. I love Little Rock, and live here intentionally, so it's always my goal to make new people love it as much as I do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At the moment, I mostly participate through hosting since travel is usually work related or visiting friends.

Music: I have a little bit of everything in the house. Sometimes it's a dance party and sometimes it's drinking cocktails while spinning Edith Piaf on the hand-crank Victrola.
