ABOUT ME

I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in Public Policy. My policy areas of interest are education, gender, political and community engagement, and many others not yet explored.

I love the colors brown and turquoise together. I love black lace and black coffee. I am learning how to be more collected. I somehow have become the virgo I never thought I was. I cut my own hair with a straight blade and electric clippers, and sometimes I dye it, too. I love cats and dogs and rabbits and rats.

PHILOSOPHY

"To have been always what I am -- and so changed from what I was."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few times. Mostly traveling musicians. I really enjoy learning about the people who travel through my city. I've hosted more people that don't use this website than who do. I'd love to see you when you pass through my city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love everything, really. It's too hard to choose. I don't own many movies except for a documentary about child labor, which you should watch. All of my books exist in boxes in a storage closet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I dye wool and spin my own yarn and crochet and sew. These days I sew more than anything else. I used to make soap, as well, but I haven't done that in a while. I'm willing to teach anyone anything I can and learn just as much.
