CURRENT MISSION

You wanna get nuts? Come on! Let's get nuts!

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Meg! I'm a 26 year old from Chicago. I attended Florida State University where I studied philosophy and met my husband, Sean. After graduating, we left for Morocco to serve in the Peace Corps. We are currently living back in Tallahassee where I'm working as a baker! We are moving to Milwaukee this summer! I'm hoping to go to culinary school some time in the next 3 years. I have been playing the trombone for about 15 years. I LOVE to cook, read, listen to good music, travel, meet new & interesting people, play with puppies, and solve Rubik's cubes.

PHILOSOPHY

It's a bit cliché, but you only live once. Why not make it an adventure?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to travel around the world, meeting new people, and also share my way of life with other travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in The Hague with an amazing couple! They were so gracious and welcoming, and made me feel like I was home! I want to create that kind of experience for other couchsurfers visiting here in the future! :o)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a friend that played Flight of the Bumblebee on the trombone while riding a unicycle...it was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some extremely scrumptious food, how to knit one hell of a scarf, how to say your name in sign language, and play the trombone! I would love to learn a few phrases in every language!
