California transplant now residing in Varanasi, India. It's a better story in person than it is written out on a profile; if you host me, fire away with the Q&A. I only host women. I only host women. I only host women. Who do I host? Women! This is also a queer safe space. :D

I am inherently outgoing, relatively determined, and fiercely independent. I like to talk, to teach, and to write [on things]. I love to listen and to laugh (sometimes at the same time). I truly enjoy surprising people; both by giving them unexpected presents and jumping out from behind corners. Often times I use one to make up for the other.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you can to figure out how to do what you should.

Always take the chances to travel.

"We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not."
-Joan Didion

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Often, if you take the time to notice, it is the day-to-day that is the most incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, so would be glad to teach you how to cook something good, or learn something fun from you. I'm trying to learn the guitar. I can teach you how to clap with unusual parts of your body. I love to learn. Teach me whatever you can, I will be happy to know it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll make you dinner and make you laugh.
