CURRENT MISSION

My current mission, i suppose, involves baking cupcakes and making mix cd's for everyone i meet, to spread delicious indie joy across the world.

ABOUT ME

i am awfully silly. i am fairly outgoing and never bored. i am very enthusiastic about life and simply having a good time. i love meeting new people and creating memories not capturing moments. and i love cupcakes.

as for the more boring stuff... i usually go to an all girls, private catholic school in minnesota,and just finished up school abroad at the university college cork, in cork, ireland. i am an environmental studies major with a double minor in economics and biology. I truly care about the environment, but find the economy to be very, very interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that you should just share as much as you can with others because friends are everything... ALSO eat, drink, and be merry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Hanna and I couch surfed across Europe and truly enjoyed everyone that we met along the way and i would like nothing more than to pay it back!

Interests

music. i adore music. nothing wins me over like a good mix tape and i love going to concerts. my favorite concert i have ever been to was Explosions in the Sky with the pAper chAse and Eluvium. my favorite bands include: pavement, andrew bird, circle takes the square, the walkmen, arcade fire, radiohead, sleater-kinney, beirut, bjork, joy division, why?, blonde redhead, and death from above 1979. i also love to write and record music. you can see some of it here.... http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=254389590

i also totally adore writing, aesthetics, skipping, fashion, sharing, social activism, baking, embroidering, picture taking, singing, recycling, laughing, and a good stout. (of course)
