CURRENT MISSION

Be outside more often than I am inside. Connect. Play.

ABOUT ME

I'm a psychologist, but that does not mean I know what you are thinking right now. I love water and mountains and singing. Currently my favorite activity is going to farms where you can "pick your own." Also, I will never turn down ice cream. My favorite social activity is going to (or hosting) a potluck, and my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Potluck breakfast anyone?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Joined CS in winter of '09--my first trip with CS was to Pittsburgh and I had a great time despite getting a cold and having my car break down. The kindness of my hosts really pulled me through.

Interests

Thrift stores, playing guitar, trying to pick out harmonies, yoga, This American Life and The Moth, coffee (made a semi-successful attempt at roasting my own beans...), hiking, swimming, hotsprings, running, baking, going on walks & hikes, avoiding bears.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Forded a waist deep river of glacial meltwater in February to get to the hotsprings on the other side.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can lead a pretty killer in-home yoga class. I'd love to stay with/host someone who's a guitarist...I love to play and sing with others.
