About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Running towards the sunset.

ABOUT ME
I enjoy biking with friends, exploring abandoned buildings, dancing with reckless abandon, and collaborative works of art, potlucks, and meeting fellow rascals who seek mischief.
I'm never happier than when I'm in nature, seeing mountains, wildlife, swimming in rivers, or just staring at the stars.

Strong LGBTQIA+ Ally. Supporter of Immigrant Rights. Defender of Environmentalism. Unabashed Radical babe. Love to Hitchhike.

I'm a Calvin in search of my Hobbes.

PHILOSOPHY
The only thing we know is we don't know anything. There's always more to learn!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With a fuckton of high fives and hugs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE-
In 2010 I met up with an all-girl motorcycle gang in Taitung, Taiwan, and we cruised the countryside for a week. Black sand beaches, Majong, and Xiaomijiu (and maybe a little Bing lan for its teeth-whitening affects). Amazing gals, even better times.

Interests

Enjoying a pint on a rooftop all night until the sun rises, making stencils, BIKES, hitching, camping, painting, listening to other peoples' adventures (and having my own) sharing silence, cooking food with/for others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managed to hitch hike alone from Portland, Oregon into Vancouver, Canada all the way to Montreal, New York, and down home to D.C. In retrospect I was really stupid, but I survived a kidnapping attempt from Robert Pickton!
