Greetings! I'm an introvert who's just discovering life. Born in NJ and lived in PA for about a year before finally deciding it was time to move on. Currently hunkering down in NYC until I can figure out my next big move. My greatest wish is to travel the world, and despite meeting so many travelers I am still so scared to take that first step. They don't think so, but I think people who travel are incredibly brave. Currently trying to stake out a life wherever I can, but if you want a traveling companion or can offer any advice to help me take that brave first step, drop me a line!

For what it's worth, I have a criminal-free background and I abstain from ALL intoxicants. Quiet, pleasant, maybe just a tad charming at times, and a huge lover of birds. Get me near enough to water and my feet are in, and near enough to a garden and my hands are dirty the moment you blink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To simultaneously put a little trust in humanity while receiving a helping hand.

Interests

Vipassana meditation, the arts, plants, birds, swimming, the great outdoors, researching oodles of subjects, the sciences, health and fitness, Dungeons and Dragons, experimenting with a vegan and gluten-free diet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rather equanimous with whatever happens to be playing at the moment as there is always something to be appreciated in every piece of music, but I do have a preference for classical.

I love movies, typically documentaries, animation, horror, sci-fi and fantasy, adventure, and psychological mind benders. Falling down, Lord of the Rings, Spirited Away, Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, Maria Full of Grace, Changling, and lots more. Love to read, huge fan of Stephen King!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got out of a bad situation.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let it go.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a whiz at cleaning and organizing, and not half bad at cooking! Don't let the vegan aspect fool you, I don't have problems handling meat (although prefer not to) and I certainly don't mind your choices. Believe it or not, I'm a bit domesticated (but please don't tell anyone) and can lend a hand with a whole assortment of chores. Not the chatty sort, I'd rather let my ears do the work. I'm your gal for impromptu explorations, odd tidbits of gardening and health tips, or a quiet hour of meditation. Let's roll a d20 and see where it lands!
