About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be content even with the meanest and worst of everything

ABOUT ME

I’m just a girl interested in social justice, the ways of faith in real life, and anything that makes me laugh. I've been living in Lesotho for the past two years, working for a public health NGO, and am ready for my next adventure. No telling where the open road will take me, but every destination's waiting...

PHILOSOPHY

Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't couchsurfed yet but will remedy this in Nov and Dec 2010!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to visit a home for orphaned girls outside of Mombasa, Kenya - and it changed my life. I'm now an auntie to 33 amazing little girls who have taught me more about love, renewal and redemption than I would've learned in a lifetime without them.

Teach - I bake a mean NYC-style bagel
