About Me

I have traveled a lot within the U.S., but very little outside of it, so I'm taking the plunge and going on a ridiculous 5 month backpacking trip through Europe, trying to go to as many cities and countries as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I've been in hostels, Couchsurfed, and been to Couchsurfer meet ups, I've seen its much easier to connect with people via Couchsurfing.

Interests

  • cooking
  • crochet
  • backpacking

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Eve 6, Creedence Clearwater Revival, whatever is on the local alternative station
Movies: Right now I'm super feeling the new Star Wars; faves are Empire Records and A Knight's Tale
Books: currently reading Outlander. Will return to reading the Song of Ice and Fire series as soon as GGRM starts writing them again >:(
TV: Parks and Rec, Steven Universe, Bob's Burgers, Jessica Jones, Downton Abbey, lot and lots of TV.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I drove from San Francisco CA to Miami FL over the course of two weeks. My bf of the time and I made many stops through the South and had a lot of fun. The bf didn't have a driver's license so I had to drive the whole way! I was also very anemic at the time and thus very, very tired.

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently learned how to crochet and I can make a hat in 2-6 hours, depending on the yarn. I made over 25 hats for friends and family this Christmas. I haven't tried any special patterns, but I can teach you the basics.
I bake a lot of cupcakes, and I can teach you how.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a decent cook, an EXCELLENT cupcake baker, an ok crocheter of hats, and a pretty good story teller.
