Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had fantastic experiences through Couch Surfing, and I am excited to meet new people through it! I currently have a roommate and might be able to host, but I'd for sure love to meet for coffee or a drink! If nothing else, I'd be happy to give my recommendations for what's good in Milwaukee!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed in Paris, Lucern, Rome, Otavalo, Quebec City, Madison, WI, Portland, OR, and Burlington, VT. All amazing experiences. I've also "met for coffee/drink" in Milwaukee and had great convos. What a great network of people worldwide! I find that people who are on couchsurfing share certain common values, ones that I find very important.

Interests

I'm interested in swing dancing, trampoline, lifting, creating things, drawing, printmaking, going on walks, nature/being outside as much as possible, and learning languages. I'm also interested in advocacy work, specifically as it pertains to women's rights and poverty, homelessness, food systems, and the right to affordable housing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've loved Neil Diamond for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I have dreams that I meet him. And in those dreams, I dream that it's finally not a dream!...nope.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

humbling myself by communicating with gestures and expressions for a week but still amazed at the spread of the universal phrase of "I love you"

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to talk about books and linguistics. My boyfriend, however, could teach some self-defense moves. He's a jui-jitsu black belt who has a wealth of knowledge that he loves sharing!
