CURRENT MISSION

Eat, drink, and be merry.

ABOUT ME

Recent Nashville transplant. Wine, gardening, and cooking are my favorite. In my past life I was a 5th grade teacher in Gallup, NM, traveled through Asia and spent a year and a half as an ESL teacher in South Korea.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel as much as you can, it opens the most interesting doors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to CS when my boyfriend traveled to India and stayed with a few hosts. I thought it was crazy until we moved to Gallup and started hosting. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, showing people around my town, and seeing the general good that exists in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Anything that makes me laugh. Alejandro Jodorovsky flicks that make your brain melt. Wes Anderson for obvious reasons.

Books: I love Vonnegut, Thompson, Bukowski, Nabokov, Cervantes, and of course Marquez.

Music: Acid jazz, freak folk, harmonica noises, organ, bluegrass, Thai pop. Really any music that makes you stop in your tracks and ask "what is happening?"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
