CURRENT MISSION

To charm and be charmed

ABOUT ME

If my owned objects could describe me... Pointe ballet slippers, piles of books (read and "to be read"), a classical guitar, a thesis on ecofeminism and magical realism, temporally incorrect clocks, two frisky cats (one who is prone to a big tail sporadically throughout the day), a piano, a shredder, a writer's box, a couch (of course) but not just any couch--a fold-out couch, edited manuscripts, and always champagne and chocolate

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmmm...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Novice status

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Being the youngest of three children, I have been an expert couch surfer since the age of six. My experiences range from family vacations (although, I was sometimes upgraded to a cot, which usually sandwiched me at some point throughout the restless, squeaky evening) to "relatives are visiting our home and since you, Kelley, are the smallest welcome to your new chambers in the family room. AKA, the couch!"

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm interested in anything that is undiscovered in my world, unless it is a horror movie, but I'm open to change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I get excited over lilac bushes, so trying to pin point one endeavor or experience is quite difficult for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar and piano, and I have a quasi secret obsession with grammar.

I speak basic French and Spanish, but want to become fluent in both (as well as about 7 other languages)
