About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to grow, and to eat really good food!

ABOUT ME

I studied abroad in 2013, and I've definitely caught a life long desire to travel - to see the world in its varied states, to appreciate different cultures and ways of life. I consider myself kind and willing to learn and grow, but I honestly need to shake myself out of practicality sometimes! I am a considerate person, and I would aim to be a very considerate guest. I also look forward to interacting with and learning from any hosts.

PHILOSOPHY

“Look here Vita — throw over your man, and we’ll go to Hampton Court and dine on the river together and walk in the garden in the moonlight and come home late and have a bottle of wine and get tipsy, and I’ll tell you all the things I have in my head, millions, myriads — They won’t stir by day, only by dark on the river. Think of that. Throw over your man, I say, and come.” - Virginia Woolf

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently only travel, but my roommates and I intend to host couchsurfers in the fall.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but I've heard very positive experiences from my close friends!

Interests

All kinds of media types, including film and literature, and trying to be a good global citizen (aim big). I also wouldn't say no to a banana nutella crepe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jane Austen, superhero movies, Kanye West, Beyonce, Sufjan Stevens, Vampire Weekend, Wes Anderson (the list goes on and on...) I've recently been watching a ton of The Americans, and I'm really looking forward to Atomic Blonde coming out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen some wonderful sites so far, but I ended up at a table in Rome with some friends I had just made in a restaurant their friend ran. Wine was flowing and I ordered a massive dessert - which is true happiness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love comparing cultures and life experiences. I'm also pretty great at baking! (add chocolate and then more chocolate)
