CURRENT MISSION listen, and ask really good questions ABOUT ME What to say? I graduated from college a year or so ago, and have been bouncing around a lot since then. For the moment, living in Cambridge, MA. I like to write. PHILOSOPHY "When I say 'hope,' I do not mean hope for anything in particular. I guess I just mean thinking that it's worth it to keep one's eyes open. 'What are all those fuzzy looking things out there? Trees? Well, I am tired of them": the last words of William Carlos William's English grandmother." --Bluets by Maggie Nelson

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've been so grateful to every host who's been kind enough to take me in, and I plan to repay that generosity once I have a more stable living situation of my own. But alas, that time is not quite right now... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I couchsurfed a ton during a summer 2012 road trip, and i met so many great people. Hope to be able to CS again soon...!
