CURRENT MISSION

learning as much in as many different ways from as many different people in as many different places as possible

ABOUT ME

my favorite color is orange. i love peaches and swingsets and bad jokes. i want to become fluent in german and then maybe portuguese. someday when i grow up i want to be a writer, and a union organizer, and an all-around badass but i'm not sure when that whole "growing up" thing is going to happen. i love poetry and magical realism. i cook. i bake. i eat. i am obsessed with meeting new people in new places and trying new things. my biggest fear is being a boring human being. i want to save the world and i think i just might. i don't have a car and so tend to end up walking just about everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have only "officially" couchsurfed once but i grew up in a home with very open doors where many people came to stay for many different reasons--some friends, some family, some strangers. i've slept on quite a few couches and extra beds in my time, and i love the opportunity to meet new people and get out of my comfort zone.
