CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to make new friends and to learn from them.

ABOUT ME

I'm a tree hugger (at least that's what my brother says). I'm a vegetarian. I've been one since 2001. I became a vegan in 2007. I love all kinds of music. I'm a graduate of MSU. I received my BA in Landscape Architecture. We have one dog and two cats. One of the cats is shy so visitors might not see her at first. We don't smoke. We don't mind guests that smoke as long as our smoking guests don't mind doing it outside.

PHILOSOPHY

I try my best to live my life with integrity, honesty, and compassion.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to have coffee/drinks and visit with anyone just passing through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've had a triathlete stay with us. That was pretty freaking cool.

兴趣

I love to take pictures, hike, ride my bike, draw, sew, paint, and
write. I have lots of little hobbies but none that I dedicate most of my
time to. Just started to learn how to play cello.
