About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do my part to make the world a fabulous place to live

ABOUT ME

I love Mardi Gras and sunlight and driving with the windows down and the Mississippi and deep sea horror movies and clean floors

I love new experiences and doing things. I'm not too picky.

I also enjoy forcing my cats to have costume photo shoots.

And I've always wanted to hitch-hike. Maybe one day.

PHILOSOPHY

Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

Proverbs 31: 8-9

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few times, and I've hosted a few times. I also try to convince my friends that couchsurfing isn't as creepy as it seems when it's first described.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences couchsurfing have all been awesome! So far it seems like a lot of really chill people, and I definitely find it's a great way to see things/do things I wouldn't have known about any other way.

traveling
film theory

feminism
laughing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a tap-tap for hours into the mountains of Haiti and visiting the school in a mountain village.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone interested in how to drive a stick shift. It's super fun. I can also teach you how to prepare for a disaster. Even more fun!

I like to learn things, so really anything that someone has to teach. I really like to learn things that are useful.
