CURRENT MISSION

Honestly understand differing perspectives, be exposed to new art and become intimate with artwork, value conversations more than grades

ABOUT ME

I love fantastic films (The Piano, Amerie, Spirited Away, Young Frankenstein, to name a few...), running (one of my favorite things about trips are all the new adventurous runs I get to go on), cozy dinner parties,

PHILOSOPHY

I am very curious about how life will unfold, the places I will go, and the places my friends will go

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the CS Project, but I joined because I love its focus on combining community, hospitality and curiosity. I really appreciate its optimism and encouraging message to 'get to know your neighbor'

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have some experience with airbnb, with going on trips with strangers around a shared mission (volunteer-based trips), and of course, I have stayed with friends and their families

Interests

I enjoy hearing new stories, going to farmers markets, biking, running, racing, reading, making stationery, printmaking, finding the best present for that special person, having the perfect change for a purchase, waking up to sunlight, cooking with new combinations of spices, and much, much more...
