CURRENT MISSION

To live and work and agitate towards equality and prosperity for all in my beloved home of West Virginia.

ABOUT ME

After having spent the last 3 years back in my wonderful home state of WV, working for women's reproductive justice, I am finally embarking on a journey through China. Since studying Mandarin for 7 years, it is high time I put all those learning years to some good use. I will explore China as much as I can with the hopes to eventually engage in work that helps people live better lives.

Update: it's 2015 now and I work for American Friends Service Committee doing youth and anti-racism organizing in WV. I have a gorgeous daughter named Lucia who is almost 3. My how time flies.

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is like dancing lessons from God - Kurt Vonnegut

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am helping the couchsurfing community by offering my open mind. The concept of couchsurfing.com is rather astounding and I can't wait to be a part of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have heard wonderful things from friends who host and have been hosted. Anyone who wants to visit WV, my parents' beautiful farm or my tiny apartment in Charleston await.
