ABOUT ME

I'm an idealist who believes in the undefined vagueness that are 'social justice' 'empowerment' and 'peace'. I attempt to improve the lives of my fellow human beings in whatever ways I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the transformative power of fiction, the essential goodness of mankind and the importance of leaving every place a little more beautiful than if was when I arrived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently in an apartment that will not allow me to host. I am still available to chat or visit various touristy locations in the Albuquerque area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed in the Southernmost tip of Chile, and in London. It's a lovely way to meet people explore new places.

Interests

Hobbies include: knitting hats during movies, hiking in the mountains, watching internet discussions descend into an idiotic chaos, making different types of soup, and attempting to play squash.

I enjoy reading about: Woman's health, greek myths, Do It Yourself projects, philosophical graffiti, spirituality, chaos theory, altruism, feminism, film, scientific research made digestible, New Orleans, banana trees, musical theater, and post-colonialism
