CURRENT MISSION My mission is to explore more cultures and lands all around the world! ABOUT ME I 'm always up for doing new things and enjoy a lot of artistic time and outdoor activities. I like company but also like doing things alone - there's a nice balance to be had. With the couchsurfers I've hosted, we've had just the most wonderful time cooking dinner and talking about all of the things that make this world an interesting place to be in. PHILOSOPHY Learning is a constant experience.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I couchsurfed while I was in Ireland and had an absolutely amazing time with my host. Since then, I've hosted several people in two different apartments near Boston, since moving to Lowell there's been fewer requests, but hope to have some more surfers soon! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've had friends from other countries stay couched with me for days at a time when they visit the States, and have hosted people in my apartment. I couchsurfed in Ireland and hope to do more while travelling alone in Iceland this summer!
Music, Movies, and Books
I read a lot of science non-fiction, memoirs, fiction books, and cookbooks. Anything by BBC. Doctor Who, Sherlock, Broadchurch are some favorites

Teach, Learn, Share
I love experimenting with cooking all types of cuisine. I created a recipe for chickpea pasta which is amazing, and I've recently gotten very much into Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I live a forty minute commuter rail ride from Boston. Lowell is a fun, young city which I'm enjoying getting to know better! I love cooking different foods with people, I feel like it's such a great way to get to know someone.
My Interests
