ABOUT ME

I am active, restless, but content. I love moving, talking, dancing, exploring. I adore biking, and one day want to go on a cross-country bike trip. I like finding small coffeeshops, hidden street art and beautiful buildings where I'm living and where I'm travelling. Right now I'm living in Boston, but planning to move South. I want to meet you and hear your stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. Specifically, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." -- Plato

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel, I would like to Couch Surf. I can't host right now but would love to meet anyone passing through Boston, whether to show you around or just have a drink. I love meeting new people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have much experience yet, sadly. I have met some couch-surfers my friend was hosting, and I can't wait to meet more and get more involved.

Interests

meals with friends that go on for hours and hours, locally grown food, live music especially played by friends, reading poetry, climbing trees, painting or drawing or making collages, activism and the intersection of various activist movements.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Right now, very into Metric and Fischerspooner. I like some folky guitar music (Girlyman, Carbon Leaf, Chris Pureka, Melissa Ferrick) & some foreign music (Culture Spears, La Rue Ketanou) & some other stuff (K'Naan). And I'm not ashamed to say, Lady Gaga, P!ink and Robyn.

Books: 100 Years of Solitude, The History of Love & To The Lighthouse.

Movies: Frida and Amelie would be my two favorites. I like beautiful movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went sky-diving in Namibia, over the biggest sand dunes in the world. I want to go again!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to cook (chicken or veggie stock, dumplings, yogurt!). I can teach you to draw something in front of you. I really, really want to learn how to play the accordion. I also want to learn bike mechanics.
