About Me

CURRENT MISSION

do good, be good

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as an adventurous girl; I'm at my best when I'm trying something new or getting to know someone for the first time. I also always feel like I haven't seen or done enough, so I'm usually looking for the next new experience.

I like to cook and fix things and ride my bike.

PHILOSOPHY

On the whole, my goals are to lead a life of being happy and not causing any harm. It's not complicated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host when I have the time and energy, and I feel like surfing is the best way to experience any new place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Ireland, Turkey, and Greece, and here in the U.S. a bit as well. Locally I've had a ton of fun hosting and showing people around Baltimore.

Interests

I like dive bars, live music, biking around town, sharing bottles of wine, and I'm always up for a dance party. It feels good to do yoga and to swing dance and to go for long walks. I relax by cooking and reading mystery novels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything with a good beat, interesting lyrics, or a catchy tune. All three and you've got a song I'll put on repeat for a week. I like getting good recommendations for new things to listen to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looked across the Bosphorus from Europe to Asia, then looked back from the other side

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything I know how to do I like to share-- practice yoga, sew, cook, stencil, and generally make things for myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking for people! (And yes, doing the dishes afterward.) I make a great walkabout buddy and can promise good conversations and some laughs. I'm the kind of surfer who's into travel for the chance to meet new people, so I prefer hosts who are interested in spending time together as opposed to just putting out some blankets.
