About Me

I like:

hiking, hot springs, baseball, laying in the grass, repurposing things, drinking coffee at coffee shops, drinking coffee at home, talking with strangers, thrift storing, finding odd gifts for friends to mail via post, pondering what informs my own behavior, eating dark chocolate-covered espresso beans..

More Feminism, please.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people, share time and space and stories, learn about different individuals and cultures, contribute to the sense of faith in humanity. I've benefitted from CSing karma, and enjoy paying it forward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

10-month road trip!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can listen. I can teach you how to throw or hit a baseball. I can teach you how to make a lei. I can teach you how to drive a manual transmission. I enjoy cooking and eating with others. I can teach you how to country line dance. Probably some other things..

For those nice enough to host me, I would like to learn about you and see the places in your town that you find meaningful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My whole honest self. And chocolate.
