CURRENT MISSION

To live honestly

ABOUT ME

A recent Chicago transplant who likes the cold, dark winters and hot, humid summers

PHILOSOPHY

I think the Unitarian Universalists say it well: "We strive to contribute to and shape the wider world for the greater good. We recognize that we are part of an interdependent web of life."

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A few years ago I traveled/volunteered/Couchsurfed around Europe for about 8 months. It was amazing to meet so many lovely people. Now that I'm settled into my new life in Chicago, I can't wait to start hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am in love! It is like feeling instantly at home in a new place with someone you feel like you have known for years even though you just met yesterday...I am looking forward to sharing that feeling with Chicago visitors.

Интересы

Wandering (purposefully and aimlessly), the story behind a place, dancing (badly but enthusiastically), people who make me laugh, trying to be craftsy, reading, cooking vegetarian food, singing and various instruments, learning how things work, animals that are round, have long ears, or make ridiculous noises
