Born and raised in Massachusetts, USA. Graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in English in 2016 and have been tumbling through life since then, figuring things out as I go. I love plants, animals and being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people as I travel. Having memories with new people in new places is important to me. I'm learning that people are so incredibly generous and giving, and life opens up when you not only give but also accept what others have to offer!

Music, Movies, and Books

Let's talk about books! Written word is the most powerful thing on the planet. My favorite book is whatever I'm currently reading. Trying to incorporate more women/POC authors into my repertoire after being raised on predominately white male authors. Toni Morrison. Gabriel García Márquez. JD Salinger. Raymond Carver. Joan Didion. Bill Bryson.

I love lots of music, too. Grateful Dead. Neil Young. Snoop Dogg. Bob Dylan. Led Zeppelin. Kendrick Lamar.

Billy Madison will never not be funny to me.
