Hello! My name is Hilary, and I work at a school in Boston. I am a writer and music-maker (I especially love learning about countries' traditional folk music).

I enjoy travelling on my own or with friends. I hope I can keep meeting new people, cultures, and places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people and learn about their cultures from them instead of from only tourist books! Couchsurfing sounds like an amazing opportunity for adventure and happy connections!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Christopher Guest movies-- Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind...

I have a wide range of musical interests, though I really like folky sounds. I play in a few local brass bands, and I teach zumba-- very different, but equally exciting soundtracks.

I'm really, really interested in Beat poetry from the 1950s.

I'm not a great cook, but I can bring over some Boston snacks! Something you're interested in?
