CURRENT MISSION

to write and travel, not necessarily in that order...

ABOUT ME

I just finished getting my MFA in creative writing at the University of Florida. I'm spending this summer traveling and visiting friends, and then I'll be spending a few months this fall at an artist's colony in New Hampshire...

PHILOSOPHY

"Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo." -H.G. Wells

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm too transient right now to be able to offer a couch, but I'd love to host as soon as I'm settled (prob. November). I've been so impressed and inspired by the warmth and generosity of people on this site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't hosted or surfed (through this site) yet but I was staying with my friends when they had a couch surfer through the site, and I loved the idea.
