CURRENT MISSION

showing up for my own life

ABOUT ME

I'm a US/UK hybrid. I claim whichever nationality is most convenient at the time. I have been working for an international reproductive rights NGO. Usually makes for some interesting/heated conversations/arguments! Am getting ready to move to Michigan to start graduate studies.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes you have to tolerate the cacophony before you can find the harmony

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only used couch surfing a bit. Haven't had much opportunity to travel since I discovered it. Had a blast with 2 different hosts in Nicaragua. Chapel Hill, NC just isn't on the typical backpacker route, so haven't hosted yet. Maybe I'll have more luck in Ann Arbor?!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

You ever find something that is such a good concept you wonder why you didn't think about it first? Well, couchsurfing is definitely that for me. Couchsurfing and opposable thumbs. Those are a pretty nifty concept...
