CURRENT MISSION

To live simply for my Lord.

ABOUT ME

I live in Nashville, Tennessee, naturally. I am in love with the mountains. Autumn is my favorite season...I think it's the colors...I am an ceramicist, a linguist, a dancer, and completely goofy. I can pretty much do anything and always have super glue and goo be gone. I want to get to know you.

PHILOSOPHY

Love all, seek what is right, be just, live and foster peace, listen and learn...seek to understand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ever since graduate school I mostly contribute to couch surfing by hosting and planning psychological studies around couch surfing for my future thesis. I also try to surf whenever I travel because there is just nothing like it. It is so wonderful to meet couch surfers; I have never met such wonderful people in all my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing has changed my life! The first time I ever heard of it I was definitely uncomfortable with the idea but after surfing with my friends in Boston I was completely won over and couldn't wait to surf again. I believe I have found a community for life.

Interests

Friends and Family (pretty much the same thing :) ), Art, Language, Music, Contra Dancing, Clay, Meeting new people, Stories, Writing, Marshmallows, Baking, Traveling, Living new places, Psychology, and many other random and sundry things.
