CURRENT MISSION

Figure out where to go with my life.

ABOUT ME

Working at an International Relations research center. In the past, I've been heavily involved in theater as both a performer and producer. I used to long-distance run and I'm trying to that up again.

I hate inconveniencing people, so I tend to consider the preferences of other people to a fault. If I'm crashing on your couch and I'm doing anything that bugs you, just let me know immediately - I'm really flexible and would always rather keep you happy!

PHILOSOPHY

It'll work out. Keep thinking, don't stress and it'll work out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking forward to be a welcoming presence in the Boston community once I return home.

While travelling, hopefully I'll be an amiable new contact from North American for anyone I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new, but really excited about getting started! I have a great deal of outside experience crashing on friends' couches.

Interests

Theater (I act and produce), singing, long-distance running, catching frogs, eating cookies, eating brownies, finishing other people's desserts, climbing trees, putting on warm socks, dressing up, getting my first haircut in 9 months, napping, meeting new people, racing people, buying anything used, having more fashionable buy me clothing, evading sunburns, imitating animals

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've written and performed a play that made people cry. I've survived a severe sandboarding concussion. I've been in an Oscar-winning movie for two seconds (Just kidding - that was one of the most unpleasant things I've ever done. Never be an extra).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love practicing Spanish with other people. I'm not fluent and therefore can't pretend to teach very well, but I'd love to learn with you!

I can answer as many questions that you have about thalidomide, American eugenics or leprosy in Queensland. I must admit that my academic interests have tended toward the historically morbid, but if you'd rather not discuss my dark scholastics curiosities, I never chatter on about them unprompted.

I can sing for you if you want? I would love to learn guitar or piano, but for now mostly love singing with people sweet enough to accompany me.

I'm don't know how to cook, but I want to learn and would love to be your kitchen apprentice.
