Recently moved to Italy! There is so much to explore (and eat)!

I've always loved the experience of exploring a new place and stumbling onto your own path. I love the experience of meeting new people and getting to have just a small taste of their different lifestyles, and I sincerely believe that's the best way to travel!

I got to visit U.S. for a student exchange program at CMU in Pittsburgh. During my stay I visited NYC, and it reminded me how much I loved bustling, busy cities, where you could always run into something new, and I think it really buzzed me into this love of experiencing new places (weird encounters on the subway are also a big plus)!

Music, Movies, and Books

Of course I love movies, and I'm ready to watch anything from wacky and fun to boring and douchey.
Some of my favorites in no order: The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Big Lebwoski, Lady Bird, Call me by your Name.. (anything by Tarantino, Cohen Brothers, Christopher Nolan, and a whole bunch more)

Oh, but music though! I think it might just be my favorite thing ever. I can really listen to just about anything, but there are some stuff out there that I really just think are the best things we as humans have contributed to the world! I'd also love to hear whatever you enjoy, and hear about why you like it, because it might just be my next favorite thing.
Some of my Favs: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Patti Smith, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, St. Vincent, Talking Heads, Raffaella Carrà, and a bunch of newer stuff!

In terms of books, I recently read Patti Smith's Just Kids and got depressed for five days. it was worth it tho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked through Europe!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to start playing guitar (only how to start though! I will be able to teach the rest when I learn it). I'd definitely love to learn (even a little bit) about other instruments too. If you play music or do any type of performance art, we're instant friends (at least to me).

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Conversation and Opinions
- Existential Dread
- I can teach you some Arabic, or Italian!
- I can give you tips on visual design or how to pretty things up
- I can help you with programming, or writing a passive-aggressive email
- If you have a very specific set of ingredients, I can cook something for us!
- I'm happy to just hang out and try new things
