Hey all, I'm Molly from Minneapolis. I am an independent creative evaluation consultant for my firm Coco Canary Consulting. My main hobbies are cooking, singing in an indie band called Coco Canary, playing ultimate frisbee, soccer, drawing, and writing. I used to travel more (I did a BUNCH of couchsurfing in my 20s). I also used to help organize the local Twin Cities CS events.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to believe that, in the end, everything works out, even if it is not in the route you were expecting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I attend CS events, and I host from time to time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed while traveling through NC and SC. I also surfed in Northfield, MN. Such a cute town.
In 2013, I went on a 7-month trip from Asia to Europe. I couchsurfed in Japan and Mongolia. All good experiences. I hosted several surfers while living in the Twin Cities. I co-organized CS events. Just now getting back into the CS community. COVID (and the paywall) stopped me for a time.

Interests

My favorite things to do are play music, play ultimate frisbee, hike, bike ride, and have meaningful conversations.
For the lazy days, I like to read, doodle, and, if I'm feeling like it, crochet.
