CURRENT MISSION

to live boldly, to learn, to gather friends and experiences, to expand my reach

ABOUT ME

I'm a Midwestern girl, and I think that comes through in my personality. I'm not big on religion, but have deep humanistic concern for our humanity and our shared earth. I like sci-fi novels, and anything from the turn of the previous century. I'm really into photography, though not ambitious. I read a ton, and would rather spend hours in a University classroom hitting the books than watching TV any day.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all connected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to be out and about and to see sights, eat food, and have cool experiences with like-minded people!

Right now, I unfortunately am not able to offer more than crash space.
However, I am preparing to teach in Taiwan this summer, and I hope to host people there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the past I've been happy to host in my apartments in Minneapolis and Hiroshima. In my living arrangements in the past few years I've been unable to host. I'm hoping to change that again soon!
