CURRENT MISSION

Experience people, life, and the world knowing sometimes it's not all good, and being ok with that; we need to have the downs to contrast with the ups.

ABOUT ME

Life happens. Most of the time, things are great. When they aren't all we can do is try to make the best of it. I love to revel in the moment taking everything in with all of my senses. I have met so many wonderful people throughout my life, and I am excited to meet many more.

I am a Resident Advisor in a residence hall at the University of Michigan, and I am passionate about social justice. There is a lot of interesting social justice work that is being done within housing, and I am happy to be a part of it.

I am almost finished with my Bachelor's Degree, and I am excited to get out into the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I am working on it...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just getting started, so I haven't actually hosted or surfed yet. I don't think I can actually host anyone yet, but I will surely be able to some time in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any yet! I am new to this, but I get so excited just thinking about it.

Interests

Reading, learning, coffee, tea, biking, exploring, social justice, introspection, poetry, old typewriters, all kinds of music.

I think telling stories is one of the most powerful forms of communication that exists. I absolutely love listening to stories. Did I mention how awesome I think stories are?

I really love mechanical things like bicycles and old typewriters. I also love doing things by hand like writing letters and making food. Coffee is an amazing experience, as it involves both of those things, and I am well on the way to snobbery (this is not to say I won't drink whatever you have. Caffeine is caffeine).

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is dependent on my mood, but some artists that are never a bad choice are Ben Folds, Okkervil River, Tom Lehrer, The Shins, and Keith Jarrett.

I can teach English and essay writing (my job), a little basic acoustic guitar, a little book binding, a little coffee, and some science.
