CURRENT MISSION Travel again next summer! ABOUT ME Theresa and Gillian like to have dinner parties and ride their bikes. They love chickens and the public library. Theresa is a cheerful, enthusiastic teacher and fiddle player who is always doing something fun. Gillian is a grumpy but friendly person who can often be found cooking, crocheting giant sperm cells, growing vegetables, or reading a whole book in one sitting. You will probably like them. PHILOSOPHY There are two of us, and our philosophies are different, so you'll just have to meet us.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING We just joined... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Our friend Keight had two love seats. She was famous for them, and had even written a series of poems about them. Once we both tried to sleep on one together. It didn't work. They were single-occupancy love seats.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
We once visited a fertility shrine in Japan featuring literally thousands of penis and vulva sculptures--made of wood, stone, and one was a five-gallon pickle jar containing a huge daikon radish in the shape of a well-endowed man's lower body...another was a set of wooden geta shoes, with a penis and vulva carved on the bottoms...it was amazing.
