My roommates say they could see me living in a commune and they're currently convinced I'm trying to start a hostel in our apartment. I really like the idea of intentional communities.

I owned a car briefly, so that I could drive back and forth to a summer farm internship, but promptly sold it when the season ended. this was the first car I had owned in over 10 years. I prefer biking and busing.

I love to cook extravagant meals but keep beans and rice in the fridge for convenience. I can’t remember the last time I ate something packaged and fast food doesn’t cross my mind as an option.

I am constantly looking to improve my surroundings both artistically and functionally. I encourage others to do similarly. I like to think of our place as blank canvas.

I dabble in photography, both 35mm and digital and am semi-pro at spooling film. I long for a dark room of my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet the people of the world. I believe in consciously connecting and like the idea of a barter society.

Interests

I'm involved in yoga, biking, gardening, cooking, and photography. I'll gladly share what knowledge I have.

I also enjoy random swimming sessions, adventures in the dark, and all-night dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I flew in a plane I jumped out of it. With a parachute, obviously.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga, breathing techniques, some meditation. Plant knowledge. Culinary know-how.

House plants on the mend? Let me help. Need an extra hand preparing for a dinner party? I'm your gal! Something aches? I have a toolbox full of stretches I'd love to share.
