CURRENT MISSION

bike everywhere

ABOUT ME

I just moved to Erie to work with a garden and environmental program in the public schools. I am passionate about bicycle transportation, growing food, reading books, and meeting new people.

I love exploring new places, connecting with people and sharing stories, and finding beauty and creativity in the most random spaces. I grow veggies and currently work in farming, but I care about a lot of things and trying to figure out how to integrate them all. I love to ride my bike, play guitar, and make vegan food.

PHILOSOPHY

Pay attention, be brave, be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since joing Couchsurfing, I've been hosting more than surfing because I'm kinda settled in Philly -- now Erie -- for now. Folks who have hosted me have been amazingly welcoming, and I try to pass that along to everyone who comes through my door. I love making food for guests and giving bike tours of the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm amazed by the generosity and hospitality of the people I've surfed with. It's been a completely positive experience so far! Some of the greatest conversations have happened. I've also had great times with each person I've hosted, and connecting with other travelers has been so much fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love books, wish my music tastes were more refined (so please suggest stuff), and always forget that watching movies is a thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mount Sinai to see the sunrise.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach about gardening, veganism, bike travel, how to putz around on a guitar, and general knowledge about the city of Erie and probably lots of other things that become relevant as needed :)

i'd like to learn more arabic and about other cultures and places. natural building and off-grid living. how to sustain activism for the long haul.
