ABOUT ME

I love reading, gardening (even though my plants always die), food, drawing, and a good dance. I think scrabble and bloody mary's go well together. I love people watching and getting lost in my own head. Some of my dreams are to see the northern lights, make a stop-frame animation, learn how to cook rice properly, grow my own vegetables, live in a bicycle-friendly city, and be able to migrate with the summer!

PHILOSOPHY

To always be aware of the way we move through the world, but also to not take yourself too seriously.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent a week with an incredible and eccentric Brazilian family in a small town just outside of Rio. Christmas was unforgettable and involved a million family members and a 'hot goat'.
