CURRENT LOCATION

I'm currently a little south of Akron, OH, but making plans to move to San Antonio, TX!

CURRENT MISSION

Breathe. Connect. Persevere.

ABOUT ME

I'm a wanderer who is learning to stay put and the beauty that can come from that. I grew up homeschooled in Cleveland, Ohio, and it taught me to be curious and to do things at my own pace. I'm currently finishing my long-deferred bachelor's degree in environmental studies and working at Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

I love swapping stories. Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine.

PHILOSOPHY

Be present. Be kind. Be joyful.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Usually I'm traveling and trying to meet new folks. Whenever I'm stationary, however, I love to host and organize CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a habit of driving across the country. My home is Cleveland, but I have a love of the West coast that I can't quite shake. In the summer of 2014 I drove from Seattle to Cleveland, only to do it again during the summer of 2015 with the intention of relocating permanently in the West. Then life intervened and in summer 2016 I drove back home! I've met so many wonderful people and made many friends while couchsurfing across the country.

Unfortunately I'm unable to host at the moment. Stay tuned!

I have surfed in:
Toronto, ON
Washington, D.C.
Chicago, IL
Eugene, OR
Eureka, CA
San Francisco, CA
Bakersfield, CA
Kansas City, MO
Saint Louis, MO
Salt Lake City, UT
Sacramento, CA
Boise, ID

音乐、电影和书籍

I am working through my massive to-read list now that I've recovered from reading fatigue brought on by copious amounts of assigned reading in college. Currently reading The New Jim Crow. If you've read it, let's chat about it.

Favorite shows: Broad City, Letterkenny, The Office

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have stood on the Great Wall of China and performed in Severance Hall.

教，学，和分享

I like sharing what I know. I can teach you how to juggle, give you a crash course in Chinese and/or Spanish, teach you how to bake delicious vegan chocolate cupcakes, or show you how to play the oboe or the flute. I am also getting better and better at 9th grade level math interventions, so if you need some algebra in your life, let me know.

As far as learning is concerned, I'd love to get better at the ukulele, practice some more yoga, and improve my knitting skills. I'm open to just about whatever skill you have to teach me, however.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm pretty entertaining, and I try not to show up empty handed. I'm clean. I'm respectful. I'm silly. I'll cook you dinner or tell you crazy stories.
