I love cooking, sharing food, and dancing (especially Lindy Hop, but tango, salsa, and West Coast swing are all quite enjoyable as well). I spend a large amount of time thinking about the next meal and get especially excited about lots of vegetables. Living in Maine is a continual delight in all seasons (except sometimes Feb-April) and I love spending time outside too, hiking and rock climbing and swimming and canoeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make sure to keep connected to the rest of the world while in my beautiful Maine bubble, and hope to have a deeper platform for experiencing a place while traveling as well. I go to places mostly to see people old and new, and eat food.

Interests

Cooking, baking, drinking tea, dancing, hiking, rock climbing, canoeing, reading, thinking, discussing. I started a cooking blog at one point, Dancing Tree Kitchen, although I've been a little behind in updating it.
