ABOUT ME

I'm a midwestern gal who likes food, farms, rural communities, art, and other fun and simple things.

PHILOSOPHY

Conquer the angry man by love
conquer the ill natured man by goodness
conquer the miser with generosity
conquer the liar with truth

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My boyfriend Greg and I both have profiles. He's more attentive to e-mails and things than I am, as I'm currently in the self-absorbed bubble that is grad school.

We tend to work best with folks who are looking for a maximum of 2-3 nights. While it's always fun when I have extra time to show our guests around and spend time together, my schedule of late doesn't always allow me lots of time for socializing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Quite a few experiences hosting and surfing:all super positive and fun.

Interests

Food, agriculture, rural culture, bluegrass music, new orleans brass bands, art, economics.

I love to cook when I can find time and ingredients.
