I was born in California, grew up in Ohio, went to school in Connecticut (to study English Literature), and have been living in Louisiana for almost ten years. My ideal state of being involves reading for two hours a day and dancing my booty off for the rest of the day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To form new relationships, learn how to cook, exchange resources around common interest and mutuality.

Interests

Swing dance has consumed my social life in the best way. I constantly bike, and am curious about all aspects of food (growing, preparing, eating, heritage, family), and have recently WWOOFed.
