About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cheesy, but it really is to just live life to the fullest, and for us that means connecting with people across differences and moving a bit more slowly.

COVID19 Safety is important to me, I am fully vaxxed and can only host or surf with those who are fully vaxxed as well.

PHILOSOPHY

"Hopelessly in love with the possibilities of humanity." ~ Unknown

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing knowledge about the state I grew up in, helping folks find some of those less well known gems and making sure you're staying well hydrated.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed a few times, and each experience has been fulfilling and unique. It's been a while since I've surfed, but these experiences brought me back as my partner and I are about to head off on a 3 week road trip in July.

Interests

I study social movements and US history, I can basically talk about any of these things for entirely too long haha. But I'm also a big lover of gardening, food, all things about the outdoors, mutual aid, SUP, yoga, music, and learning new things.

I love to bake things from scratch! I've got secret ingredients and everything :)

Favorite books: Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler

Music: 90s grunge, NIN, trip hop, hip hop, folk, and lots in between

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Solo road trip across basically the Western U.S. for two months. Camped, slept in my car, crashed with friends.

2. Organized with mutual aid efforts to make sure vulnerable populations got the supplies they needed throughout the pandemic.

3. Grew my first garden!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a yoga teacher and I'd love to share some yoga with you!
