About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and write books!

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventuress and bon vivante who loves reading, writing, cooking, and exploring. I'm passionate about cultural exchange and communication, and do a lot of writing on the subject of expatriation and questions of identity.

PHILOSOPHY

Wherever you go, there you are!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can and will cook my hosts anything they desire, from homemade ice cream cake, to sweet potato fritters with watermelon and feta salad. If you're visiting me, I'm always good for a little local history, and a lot of fun facts!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed once, staying with some lovely young philosophy students in Morocco, but it was one of the most amazing, memorable travel experiences of my lifetime.

Interests

Travel, sing-a-longs, dance offs, dinner parties, learning new things, botany, poetry, feminism, tomfoolery, epistalatory correspondence, ice cream.
