CURRENT MISSION

Go, Do, See, Eat, Grow, Change. All at once and in a hurry!

ABOUT ME

Hello! Twenty three year old, single American female. I'm quite a boring person, but as is often true of bores you'll find me polite, unobtrusive, and tidy.

PHILOSOPHY

Never complain, never explain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm eternally grateful to have been able to warm many a couch all over the United States and Australia, and have always kept my own door wide open (though often as not I've lived places no one was too keen to visit, haha.) Can't wait to get involved with the couchsurfing.org community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My all time favorite couchsurfing experience was on a lovely futon in Kingman, Arizona for a night on my first cross country road trip from Atlanta to Las Vegas with my dear, long suffering friends L+C.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rescued (stole) a rotting chair from a deconsecrated post office on Route 66. It was the first piece of furniture I ever restored and now the logo for my business.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, cooking, crochet, sporting clays

Learn: Absolutely anything. I know very little and want desperately to learn as much as possible. Of everything.

Share: Does swapping book, film, and music recommendations count? Cooking for other people is a great joy to me and so is exchanging letters.
