I love good food in good company!

I am tall, have a big smile, laugh a lot, am a little sarcastic, like to lend a hand or an ear when i can, want everyone to be happy

I am a student of urban studies and architecture in New York City. I studied abroad for the spring in Copenhagen and fell in love with it :) Now I'm there for the rest of the summer working at an urban design firm that specializes in citizen involvement strategies - i.e. encouraging community engagement during urban design processes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am open minded, and it seems like other couchsurfers/ hosts are as well.

Interests

Art, live music, reading a good book, dancing (!), being outside, drawing, candlelight, nordic sunset

Recently, cooking!! If you can teach me how to cook something from where you live, that'd be the best.

Music, Movies, and Books

music:
this summer I am listening to sludgey & sweet tunes
some punk, some shoegaze, some blues, some folk (mostly 70s like sibylle baier)
loove soul, funk, r&b, 80s dance music (really love to groove)
female voices in general
you can teach me about electronic music because i'm not so good at knowing what's up in that realm

movies:
you could teach me more about that

books:
currently reading mostly non-fiction (architectural&urban design theory, travel guides), trying some danish literature like inger christensen and enjoying it.
fan of american lit, particularly american southern gothic. flannery o'connor is a fave

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
