Just your average American seeing the world for the first time. In the past month and a half, I've traveled around India and had an amazing experience. Now I'm haphazardly making my way around Europe, with a stay in Paris and then in Barcelona and Istanbul. Love meeting and connecting with new people!

At home, I'm an anthropology major who has dreams of publishing a novel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for insight into what it's like to live in the places I'm visiting. I don't think there's a better way to do that then staying with someone who has experienced the culture in a way I will never be able to.

Interests

• poetry
• lgbt rights
• anthropology
• creative writing

Music, Movies, and Books

I tend to prefer instrumental music over the lyrical. Post-rock is my favourite genre. During my trip to India, I found that I really love Bollywood music. Books are more difficult to pin down. I try to broaden my horizons with every novel I read. For me, anthropology and fiction are one and the same, for they both show our humanity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived demonitization in India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very much interested in learning some of the language in whichever country I'm in. I'll be more than glad to help with English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless enthusiasm, curiosity that's been described as childlike, and a willingness to experience whatever life has to offer--even the experiences some might consider bad.
