I love meeting new people, exploring new places, delving into new perspectives and all that jazz. But really, I'm very open and honest, and I strive to dig past superficial interaction in order to make deeper connections with everyone I meet.

There's a lot of crazy stuff happening in the world right now and, cheesy as it may be, the connections we make with others are what make life worthwhile. I'm trying to connect and experience as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel and meet people. I don't have a lot of experience with couchsurfing yet, but from what I can tell it seems like a great community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently listening to a lot of Portugal. The Man and the xx but that changes all the time. I genuinely enjoy a lot of music, but in phases.

I have watched relatively few movies compared to the average person, but I like it when other people share their weird, obscure favorites with me.

I do love books. Don Delillo's White Noise has been my favorite for a while now, but, as with music, I go through phases.

And how to deal with conflict more constructively! (I've gone to school for this, but I won't force it on you if you're not interested)
