Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago my best friend and I spent a fantastic 8 days in Ireland, couch surfing with Jimmy the Juggler, Raff the punk rock fan, and Niamh from Athenry. We loved the variety of experiences that staying with strangers afforded us, and still love telling people about our trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The First Ireland Sacred Harp Convention this past march was one of the most uplifting and moving weekends of my life.

The Jazz Age Lawn Party in NYC this past summer was one of the sweatiest and most fun afternoons I had had in a long time.

Sorry, that's two.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make:
real pie crust

salad dressing

I will soon be learning some Spanish, with trial by fire.
