Hmm... I think you’ll have to just meet me ... but..

Apparently I'm a very picky eater.

I'm a terrible planner... I prefer to do most things last minute. I might be one of the world's best procrastinators.

At some point I need to go Skydiving. And in a hot air balloon.

I’m shy in weird ways.

I don’t enjoy sleeping to white noise.

I really like drinking whiskey.

Spontaneous kitchen dance parties are one of my favorite things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? Shrug. Sigh.

Interests

I love reading epic (CRACK) fantasy. I'm not a fan of winter, grey skies, cold, or rain (though they provide a good excuse to just read). I LOVE the sun and will take any moment I can to soak it up. I love the beach and the mountains!

I'm a total language nerd and love speaking in and about other languages.

I'm learning to play the accordion (very slowly)... and will spend the evenings creating squeaking sounds in my house. Note* I originally wrote this like three years ago, and I’m still at the same level hahaha.

DANCE. Kitchen dancing, ballet, pole dancing. I would love to learn how to swing dance.
