a city girl gone country who wants to explore every inch of the world, taking in every quiver of a leaf, ripple of a river's current, smile of a stranger's face, smell of bread on the street in the early morning....
show me your favorite park? let me buy you a nice beer and we can talk about what our dreams mean or if were horoscopically compatible

I'm travelling in Europe for four months, working and living on properties in Basque Country, France, Croatia and Italy. I just finished University in Oregon, and I'm doing this trip alone to celebrate my accomplishment and get ready for the next phase of my life! I love meeting new people and exchanging culture, working with the land and growing food, and of course cooking and eating!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm using couchsurfing to find nice people to stay with as I pass through towns-- A quick visit becomes much richer if shared with someone who knows the area!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to sweet little love songs, but also appreciate instrumental music or sometimes even heavy metal. Hearing new artists and styles is my favorite! I can't say there is one genre of music I won't listen to.

I love reading, and find great pleasure in long, slow novels like East of Eden and 100 Years of Solitude. Graphic novels are fun, and sci-fi and fantasy are also good sometimes. Of course I read non-fiction when it's a topic I'm interested in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked the Camino de Santiago backwards through part of France!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to help cook a meal (and do the dishes!), help with learning English or Spanish, exchange book/music recommendations, and even share a nice cup of tea.
