I love exploring, learning, discovering beauty in the everyday.

Also, on a practical level, I tend to live pretty quietly. :-) And I enjoy pets, who also tend to enjoy me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband and I are taking a giant summer road trip before he heads to grad school in the fall! We just got married in September, so we're looking forward to a break and drinking in the wonders of travel in between the hustle and bustle of wedding planning and the who-knows-what of grad school.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm bad at favorites, but a few books I've enjoyed reading recently are Haroun and the Sea of Stories; Home (bill Bryson); Being Right; and the 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. I'm not much for movies these days, though I am a sucker for the ones I loved as a child: Princess Bride, Cool Runnings, and Homeward Bound. My favorite music is something I can sing along to, so I tend to enjoy a capella covers of popular tunes the most.

I helped start a coworking space in our tiny Vermont town!
