ABOUT ME

Finished grad school in London, traveled, spun my wheels working back home in North Carolina for a bit, now living in grand old Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York City. (though my street is more like Puerto Rico). Movin movin movin... Unemployed-ish. Music books arts and science. Animal science. Always trying to learn more languages. Mostly I'm a southern lady with a predilection for big cities, bigger trees, and dancing all night long....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lastly I surfed a one bedroom San Francisco apartment with 14 other people from nearly as many countries - it was amazing, and very cuddly!

Working my way down the State Department's list of places with Travel Warnings, because, why not. Been traveling for years, whenever the smallest opportunity presents itself - don't need much in the way of creature comforts and up for anything.
