CURRENT MISSION

Going somewhere a hell of a lot older than the U.S.

ABOUT ME

I have resided in Seattle for the past two years, a lovely (and right now very rainy city). This is where I've learned how much I love bicycling, and hope to take that love with me wherever I go.
I'm about to embark on a months-long WWOOFing voyage in western Europe, including Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. I want to make and eat so much goat and sheep cheese.
I also will be sight-seeing a bit in between farms. I want to meet you and see your favorite secret and public places!

PHILOSOPHY

This is something I would like to discuss in person more than I'd like to type out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have participated informally by inviting people who I've met randomly to stay on my couch before they heard back from CS members, like two girls biking from Minnesota to Las Vegas. Now I can participate on the website!
I also will be looking for people to host me on my upcoming trip.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new!

Interests

I'm interested in learning how to cultivate many types of plants, especially fruits and vegetables. I would like to learn how to brew beer, as I'm very interested in drinking good ones.
I'm interested in how some people succeed in living very differently than the rest of the world, why it's so unusual, and what they know.
Language and the way it transforms and illuminates culture is one of my favorite things to learn about.
I'm very interested in my friends, their lives and ideas, and doing new things in their company.
I dig Scrabble.
