As far as obvious markers go I am a queer, witchy, sober, ecofeminist. I love social justice, spirituality, simplicity, studying, silliness, and the letter s, I enjoy making art, food, and crafts. I spend a lot of time thinking about the future while still trying to live in the present.

i also don't care much for proper punctuation.

Also I unfortunately rarely remember to check this site and therefore have missed a lot of couch surfing requests. So, if you want me to host you, email me directly at Olympian.mary@gmail.com to at least alert me to check the site. Otherwise I wont get the message in time, which is a bummer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm in grad school and pretty damn busy but I am happy to have people crash in the guest room downstairs. I'll give you maps, answer questions, and cook you food when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

very few via the website, all my other couchsurfing experiences have been with friends, acquaintances or random people i met off the street who became friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i am pretty amazed at the beauty of kids and the world. crossing a country border via bike was exciting. oh! i know i taught a 6 year old how to knit..that's pretty tough what with the lack of hand eye coordination and all. Getting to go to acupuncture school without going further into debt is amazing.
