CURRENT MISSION

finding solace in discomforting situations, seeing as much of my country as possible, picking up inspiration, and talking to everyone i meet.

ABOUT ME

i'm a twenty-something who just graduated college and has a serious case of wanderlust. so! i'm embarking on an amtrak trip through 11 cities this august! maybe yours is one of them. maybe i can stay with you?

i'm constantly making puns, i thrive in awkward situations, and i love to stare out windows.

PHILOSOPHY

i just want to be patient, happy, and help everyone around me be happy too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i find a lot of wonder in little things that happen every day and i'm pretty constantly amazed by whatever is around me. that is to say, i haven't climbed a mountain or anything in an extreme way; my sense of amazement is maybe understated.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can sew/craft/create most things (or at least try), alter clothes, show you how to pattern a dress from scratch, knit a sweater, you name it! i'm also pretty handy with home improvements and am constantly practicing honing my veg. cooking skills!
