ABOUT ME

I'm 26. I like to grow shit, feed people, and charm cranky cats. I also appreciate a healthy geeking out on just about any subject, though have a special place in my heart for Jewish studies. I'm originally from Louisiana and moved to Boston a little over a year ago, and am thoroughly enjoying the introduction to public transit and snow.

I've been on CouchSurfing for several years but have never actually hosted or surfed, mainly because I was in school and not traveling. I'm hoping this will change soon. Starting in September of this year (2012) I'll have a spare bedroom and will be looking to host.
