Hi! I’m Mary! Pronouns she/her/hers

I love meeting new people and travelling all over this great wide world. When I'm not exploring new cities and countries, you can find me in Silver Spring, MD: a town right outside Washington, DC with my fiance Steve. I like to spend my time practicing yoga, wandering around DC, attending concerts (lots of jam, bluegrass, rock, fem artists), hiking, or camping. I am a member of Baltimore and DC Burners and participate in regional burns. I have only attending TTITD once, but I look forward to going )'(ome in the coming years. I LOVE food and a nice glass of red wine. LGBTQA+ friendly, loving, and welcoming.

Weekdays, I work in higher education. I am a yoga instructor, )'( burner

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new folks as I travel to new places. Maybe even stay the night, if there's room on your couch ;)

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Currently listening to a lot of Florence + the machine, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, The Grateful Dead, The Wood Brothers, Sara Barielles

Movie: Cold Mountain (I know, but it really is my favorite movie). Newly watching Monty Python films (my family didn't watch them when I was a kid, but I am making up for it now!). Also, anything Pixar.

Books: Currently reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Hate U Give, and skimming floral books as I prepare to arrange the flowers for my wedding (positive vibes plz)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First thing that camp to my mind: Jumped off a 50 ft cliff in Lake Tahoe. Took my about 5 minutes to actually jump, but I did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach yoga. I am learning more Italian. I always share my snacks.

A listening ear, hugs, and snacks. Also good with minding my own business, if you prefer :)
