CURRENT MISSION

Following my bliss!

ABOUT ME

Currently living on a very, very remote island, so taking a break from CS!

I love meeting new people, exploring new places, and pausing from time to time to remember just how damn lucky I am.

I generally work in the nonprofit sector doing environmental work and research. In my free time, I like to make electrical tape art, cook poorly planned meals, and run around in nature.

I never pass up a chance to costume (the more glitter, the better) or dance (poorly).

PHILOSOPHY

"If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life." -HHDLXIV

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few great people at my old place in New Orleans and surfed a bit while in Europe. Hopefully someday soon I'll not be living in a super crazy apartment, model home, or on a remote island, so I can host again. CS has been a wonderful reminder of all the amazing people in the world, just waiting to be met!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 6 months on the most remote island of the most remote archipelago in the world with 5 other people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got some vegan cooking and baking skills up my sleeve. I used to be a lifeguard and swimming instructor, so I can teach valuable life skills like how to blow bubbles. I can identify a bird or two.

There are a bazillion things I want to learn/improve upon (languages, surfing, permaculture, photography, beer brewing, scuba diving...).
