CURRENT MISSION

I'm at the cusp of 30 and with nearly 2 weeks to go, I'm still waiting for that small "existential crisis" that my friends keep warning me about. I'm thinking on the contrary that this entire year has been the culmination of me doing things right: I quit the job I loathed, ditched the unhealthy relationship, started running and painting more, and jumped head first into my dream career--teaching high school Spanish.

Now with school over (at least until August), I'm ready to put on my wandering shoes and pack my bag. The Summer is just getting started. Perhaps I should check out your neck of the woods? See what life has to offer over yonder...

ABOUT ME

I'm creative, fun-loving and fiercely loyal. I'm a traveling soul with equal parts School Girl, Not so Snobby Cheese and Wine Snob, and Martha Stewart (minus the tax fraud). I'm most certainly the most un-athletic sporty person you'll ever meet. Case in point, I love to run because I love to eat ;)

I'm naturally reticent but get a delicious cup of coffee or craftcocktail in my hands and perhaps we can talk endlessly through the night.

Playful. Fun. Easy going. Always looking for an adventure. Excellent cook.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in love with the world: philosophy, literature, gastronomy and languages. Excited to meet new like-minded people.
