CURRENT MISSION

Eat, Dance, Eat

ABOUT ME

I'm a dancer turned actress turned writer turned marketer. I do all four things with varying ability in Portland, OR. (I like to call this the progression of practicality)

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice & work hard. Also, take your shoes off in other people's houses/apartments/caves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We'd like to start hosting couch surfers, so feel free to message me! We can host up to two people at a time. We have a lumpy couch, so you have been warned. Also, our cat isn't very nice. She endures us and will likely bite you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Tawni and I couchsurfed in London! Our host immediately helped us find fish & chips. It was great.

Interests

Good food, good people, good times.

I'm a politically minded person with a strong background in the arts. I like to read, anything from Reddit to Russian literature. My heroes include Bertrand Russell, Oliver Sacks and Dumbo. I drink a lot of wine but I know absolutely nothing about it. I'll eat everything but deli meat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? Then without fail, it is the people I have met (let's aggregate them into a solitary whole of amazing).

More than one?

I've chased sea creatures across the floor of the Pacific Ocean, climbed into hidden bunkers from World War II, and danced with gangsters in Saigon.

I know that: the Notre Dame is most incredible at 3 in the morning (but Parisians prefer Frank Lloyd Wright), The Anglesea Arms has the best fish & chips in London, and that if you are out of shape and try to swim in the Mediterranean, you will most definitely pull a muscle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make really good granola. I can also teach you to count to 100 in Vietnamese.
