CURRENT MISSION

To climb the tallest trees and to bake the best of cookies!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Portland, OR (United States) a city I love for its quirkiness! I enjoy tea, scones and some sweet single track. I love Mt. Biking, windsurfing and climbing trees. If I were to have tea with anyone, alive or dead, it would be Kurt Vonnegut, or perhaps Tony Kushner. I love to dance, to run and I play a lot of Ultimate frisbee.

PHILOSOPHY

You do you, I quote my epically awesome best friend. Believe what you choose to believe, do what you want to do, and dance as though you are skipping along the tip of your spirit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted for the year I lived in Spain and I've surfed a bit in Germany, Spain and the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It never ceases to amaze me the variety of ways one can live and travel. All the surfers and hosts I've met have expanded my idea of what adventures are possible.

Interests

Did I mention Swing dancing? A great conversation, adventures, baking, backpacking, hiking, poetry, the world (there's a lot of places I haven't seen yet!)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything... except country. I'm a big fan of The Black Keys and Iron Maiden.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aaah, the scale of "amazing" is so subjective. My most recent memory of an amazing experience was the stillness of a lake that I sat in a kayak on, there was a full moon and not a ripple appeared to mar the mirror like surface.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Baking, unicycling, knitting, pie making. Learn: how to use a sewing machine, cars (I just don't really know cars)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Clean dishes, I can juggle your limes, recite the jabberwocky or teach you to swing dance.

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Bangladesh, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Honduras, Hungary, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Portugal, Romania, Switzerland, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Spain, United States
