I'm a former Smith College student taking time off from school and looking for some inspiration. I love a good story, and have a few interesting ones of my own!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only lived in two parts of the U.S., central Jersey until college and western Mass until very recently, and have only explored other parts of the country very briefly. During my time off I'd like to change this!

Interests

I like to read mostly fiction, I like to write mostly for myself, and enjoy riding my bike and going on adventures. I have a casual interest in philosophy that was formerly not so casual (it used to be my major). If you like to talk about farms I can help :)

• chocolate
• running
• cycling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over the summer I worked for a farm in western Mass, and one of my jobs was to deliver CSA shares to Boston. During one of my deliveries, my side view mirror fell off on the Mass Pike, and after two hours of running around trying to find replacement parts, I was able to get back on the road and deliver every last share of veggies!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, open ears, and chocolate, since I usually carry some wherever I go :)

Countries I’ve Lived In
