CURRENT MISSION

Applying to grad school to be a Library Scientist.

ABOUT ME

I was born into a Navy family. Which meant we were often moving and always by the sea.

These days I live in Seattle, close to the Pacific Ocean, the Cascade Mountains, and my family.

I spend a lot of time knitting on the bus, going to craft fairs, reading about and attempting gardening, baking, going to book readings, and canoodling.

PHILOSOPHY

To do more good than harm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking forward to my first Couch Surfing Experience!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met couch surfers when a friend was hosting and it looked like a cool thing to do. So I've joined in.

Interests

I like to bake sweets, knit sweaters, ride my bike, sit by the ocean, write letters, go to craft fairs and listen to honky tonk music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting into Peace Corps was amazing. Doing Americorps twice was satisfying.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mostly I teach people how to knit and/or bake. I think both are things anyone can do if they're interested.

I want to get better at riding my bike in the city.
