I'm a 28 year old female. Raised in an environment abundant in pine, ocean, family, and creativity, I proudly identify as “Mainer"--though I always question this decision right around January/February....

Right now I'm hibernating here in Maine in post production of a documentary film project (Check it out! http://kindredplanetproductions.weebly.com/elephant-keeper.html). My work prior to has been with International students--ESL, advising, program coordination, houseparent, etc.

Humor and empathy are a few of my favorite words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

my couch is always open when I have a home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only hosted once, and it was wonderful. I am still terrible with anything internet, and sometimes I slack with my profile

Interests

I love road trips, train trips, plane trips, all trips.... I love anticipating the unexpected. I love spontaneity, comedy, dance, film, books, and costume parties. I love the East and how aged and wise it felt to me in my travels there. I love hiking, cycling, camping, and radio shows. I love red wine or a fresh IPA off the tap.
