CURRENT MISSION

To show kindness and compassion, to grow and to help cultivate growth in others, and to advocate for those with little or no voice.

ABOUT ME

I love blues dancing, writing letters, playing guitar, folk nights, and game nights with my friends. Fancy dinner parties and cozy bonfires are equally great. Excellent conversationalists gain my heart within seconds.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for the fire in my belly and the breeze in my chest. I have passion for underserved youth and mistreated children. I believe in love and grief and justice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I readily surf *and* host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've acquired some good friends from couch surfing. I started while I was living in New Hampshire for school. Boston was so far away, but it was the only place to go for any decent dancing. I started staying over at dancers' houses instead of driving home at 3am. Now, I mostly host visiting dancers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Anything that sweeps me under the heavy rug of imagination.

Music: Mountain Man, Hey Mama, Eva Cassidy, Neko Case, Tom Waits, Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns

Books: Some of my favorite authors include Francesca Lia Block, Madeleine L'Engle, Italo Calvino, and Anais Nin. Young adult novels generally keep my mind and heart simultaneously engaged.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floating in the Dead Sea was by far the coolest thing I've ever done in my life. My experience at the Western Wall (the Kotel) comes in at a very close second. Ask me about it!
