About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to drink wine and write in Italy this summer.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 32 year old single woman who lives, loves, teachers, and writes. I love to cook, treat my body with healthy vegetarian goods except when I indulge in quality bad goods such as wine and rich foods (Italian and Indian are my weaknesses).

I love men, but appreciate the sisterhood of women.

I'm the youngest of four kids in a amazingly loud overbearing Italian family who I miss terribly (but not enough to live in LA with them) I've been teaching overseas for two years and have no intention of returning to the states.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live by being grateful all the time for the people, experiences, and possessions in my life while trying to affect something larger than my moment. I do this by always learning more about myself and listening as much as possible to those around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined, so I've yet to participate. But my couch is comfortable and I know heaps about Bangkok and Southeast Asia and am always willing to help.

I also would love to do a direct swap of apartments.

Interests

Writing, cooking, bike riding, running, music, movies, reading, and plenty plenty more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm going to think on this one and return, but damn--a good question worth answering.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love this philosophy for couch surfing. I always am up to learn and share, but I can't in good conscience offer up what I would teach until the moment presents itself.
