CURRENT MISSION

To live my life fully and without regret.

ABOUT ME

I have been married to wonderful man for the last 4 years. I run my own business designing and selling organic cotton printed tees (which I print as well) all over the country. I can drive alone for mind boggling amounts of time, though I probably shouldn't be announcing my freakish aptitudes. I have no children, but have a very demanding cat and love animals.

PHILOSOPHY

not create harm in the world. I try my best to balance a sustainable life in American society while still using electricity and driving a car.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to meet new people in new cities while I travel doing my shows.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a great couch surfing guest because I surf while doing craft shows so I am clean, quiet, leave early in the morning and am at my show all day. I love being introduced to great bars, amazing local food, and meeting new people.

Interests

Creating collage artworks, being a crafty know-it-all, DIY home repair, drinking tea, slowly learning to cook, making my own clothing, writing very short fictions when I get the time, reading, though lately I have only had time for books on tape, and reconnecting with old friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just finished the unabridged "Count of Monte Cristo" or rather listening to it on CD while I drive my usual 7+ hours to craft shows. Love reading humorist essay type books like David Sedaris and Garrison Keillor. I like learning new facts so I watch documentaries. My favorite band to listen to is Muse but I listen to blues, old school country (like Johnny Cash), 70's sounding current rock like like The Black Keys & The White Stripes, glam rock like David Bowie and Queen, punk rock (Dead Kennedys)...and more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to hang out with a practicing Buddhist. It is a philosophy I greatly admire and have begun studying here in Columbus.

But I believe you learn a little from everyone you meet and thus I try to meet many people and hopefully form lasting relationships.
