CURRENT MISSION

The best things in life really *are* free...

ABOUT ME

I am a traveling writer, so I change cities and countries a lot, sometimes staying with friends, sometimes Airbnbs, sometimes couchsurfing! Writing is a pretty solitary job, so I love meeting new people and exploring new places! :) I love couch-surfing so much that I spent four years doing so in L.A.!

PHILOSOPHY

Karma. Faith. Seeing the good in every situation. Writing letters. Valuing the art of face-to-face conversation vs. merely being electronical pen-pals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I used to couch-surf for a living, so to speak, I believe in it 100%. I try to go to CS events when I can (great way to build community with other CS members!)...

Interests

Hiking, kayaking, biking, writing, exploring off-the-beaten-path small towns, thrift stores, cute cafes, etc...

Music, Movies, and Books

Just read "A Three Dog Life"... have you? Love old, classic movies like "The Apartment" and "Harold and Maude." Could listen to Radiohead forever. Or Billie Holiday. Or Frank Sinatra.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a road trip in 2016 in the U.S., I drove down *super* winding roads and via hairpin turns in North Carolina in search of Elk at the bottom -- and it was scary, yet AMAZING.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we can learn something from everyone we meet. We just have to be willing to listen...
