ABOUT ME

I've been living in Louisa for 12 years, cooking on a farm. I'm currently transitioning to Cville to be closer to my doctors and other health resources. I am still looking for a more permanent place to live, but in the meantime have a few friends I can stay with on occasion - I'm trying couchsurfing to find a place to sleep the other nights as needed. I have a couple of jobs in Cville, cleaning and baking/cooking for friends, so I do need to find places to stay in town. I grew up in small-town Vermont, am fairly well-read, very liberal, do not drink or smoke, and am willing to help out with cleaning and cooking as needed - not into childcare tho.

I like music, listen to a wide array of styles, but don't have much talent myself - but I do jam on guitar from time to time. Here's my Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/winnieonion?si=cUeJhwftR02w3POBDzqUDg

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

The biggest crowd I've ever helped cook for was 3,000. There was one time when I cooked for two funerals and a wedding within two weeks (in addition to my regular job).
