Learning the ropes as I pretend to be an adult.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For adventures and stories. I'm in D.C. proper and I'd like to head out to nearby cities and hopefully rural treasures.

Interests

I'm a boring thing. My favorite activities are bike riding, going for walks, playing board games, and cooking.

Bicycle: Steel frame so I can ride it for decades
Walks: Long, meandering
Board games: Starr Fluxx
Cooking: currently attacking every single recipe in Smitten Kitchen- for funsies
