I have curly hair.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and meet people in ways that are based on reciprocity, in some small way divested from capitalism.

Interests

I like to hike, bike, sing, play guitar/fiddle/mandolin. Avid modern dancer, poet, and yog-er (like yogini but less confused and more like yogurt).

Music, Movies, and Books

I very like everything from bluegrass to hip hop. I said bluegrass, not country.

Favorite books include The Prophet by Khalil Gibran, When Women Were Birds by Terry Tempest Williams, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close/Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

Favorite poets include Anis Mojgani, Andrea Gibson, Buddy Wakefield, Alysia Harris, Khalil Gibran.

The words of Audre Lorde, Andrea Smith, bell hooks, and many other bad-ass feminists will forever guide me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a poetry slam one time. And I've hiked at 15,000 feet. But enough of this self-congratulatory bullsht.
