ABOUT ME

I'm a little shy but open up once you get to know me. I'm pretty organized and routine, if a bit weird. Iâ

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an idealistic pessimist. I want things to work out wonderfully, but I don't think they will. So I create at least five back-up plans so that even if I don't get quite where I meant to, it still works out.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to have a couch listed with my old roommates but because my email address on couchsurfing is linked to a defunct one and I've been trying to get it updated for years, it's been hard for me to be connected on the website. Hopefully, it'll get cleared up soon and I'll actually be notified now when people want to stay with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed once through this website, but had a great experience. Outside of the couchsurfing project, I've had some great people have take me in when I needed a place to stay. Especially Melissa, who took me in for a week when my car broke down on her exit.

兴趣

I care a lot about the environment and social justice issues. I've worked for about three years in Albany on activist issues including Campus Greens, Students for Workers Rights, Kick Coke Campaign, and Food Not Bombs. I'm involved in an collective space in Albany that hosts workshops, skillshares, art for First Friday, free community meals, and music shows.

教，学，和分享

I have a lot of hobbies that I've collected over the years. I used to make simple jewerly, paint, and draw. Now, I've started doing linocut printmaking, self-publishing small zines, crocheting projects and am an amateur herbalist. I've never gotten very good at photography though. I'm terrible at languages but I've given at least three a shot. I used to know a bit about bike mechanics and I could probably still find my way around a bicycle.
