ABOUT ME

I love chocolate, tree climbing, and immersing myself in a good book. I think that horses, lilacs, and campfires are the most delightful of smells. I am happiest when dancing.

PHILOSOPHY

a firm handshake, a listening ear, and looking someone in the eye makes all the difference. to be creative and industrious are important to me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Today is my first day - I am still learning!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have previously couch slept (a poofy thing in a rickety cabin overhanging Lake Wentworth in Wolfeboro, NH where I worked as a camp counselor). I look forward to couchsurfing - sounds more action-packed than couch sleeping.

兴趣

photography, learning guitar, cooking, yoga, poetry, shoes, and making ice cream in an ice cream ball (so far, bubblegum and maple milk are the flavors of success).
