ABOUT ME
I'm a mid-twenties, tree hugging, farmer loving, whiskey drinking world saver. With an awesome dog, Gracie.
PHILOSOPHY
“Listen: I am ideally happy. My happiness is a kind of challenge. As I wander along the streets and the squares and the paths by the canal, absently sensing the lips of dampness through my worn soles, I carry proudly my ineffable happiness. The centuries will roll by, and schoolboys will yawn over the history of our upheavals; everything will pass, but my happiness , dear, my happiness will remain,in the moist reflection of a street lamp, in the cautious bend of stone steps that descend into the canal’s black waters, in the smiles of a dancing couple, in everything with which God so generously surrounds human loneliness.”—
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have couch surfed in the past abroad, and now that I'm more settled I want to give back! Come stay in Wilmington, I share a house with my Coastie (Coast Guard) boyfriend who is here when he isn't working in Maryland. We live about a 5 minute drive (or 20 min bike ride) from downtown and a 15 minute drive to the beach!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I stayed on a couch just outside Paris! One of the best experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share
I know a little about birds, gardening and the local food movement and ALL about working with cantankerous southern farmers. I cook pretty well and bake even better. I can definitely teach you how to bake a mean southern biscuit.
