I grew up in a gorgeous, but boring California resort town swarmed with grandparents in khakis who live for golf tournaments and Sunday night talk shows. Naturally, I hated it, so right when I turned 18, I moved back to Europe. I spent a year traveling, teaching English in Poland, tracking wolves in Portugal, and punting in Cambridge..generally realizing how un-mundane and un-routine life can be. I'm now studying in bonnie but freezing Scotland, & traveling as much as time and the wallet permits :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfing, hosting, chilling at meetings, showing people around, etc.

Interests

Spontaneous shenanigans, any kind of writing, philosophizing (and/or chatting mindlessly) over a good cup of coffee/pint, picking wild blackberries, good concerts, ukulele playing, yoga, cycling, and running

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

taking in the beauty of Icelandic glaciers and geothermal springs, sleeping in the beautiful silence of the Saharan desert, walking 600 km of the Camino de Santiago

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a ton of pointless factoids about Nigerian Dwarf Goats. Or how to cook some good vegetarian food (including vegetarian Polish food--an oxymoron, I know).

As for learning, I'm a sponge--teach me anything!
