[this profile filled out by a friend/housemate of Andrea's]

Andrea (henceforth mostly referred to as A and Dre) is a very special creature who is excited to embark on some of her first extra-municipal adventures.

Dre divides her time between working wacky hours doing social work, playing games with pals, practicing DJing, watching movies, organizing for radical social change, doing embroidery, alternating between being nice and mean to her housemates, and practicing/performing with her radical marching band.

The travelling thing is a little out of Dre's comfort zone, but she's gonna kill it and you're gonna love her. Watch out for the dry sense of humour and horrible puns.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Dre has been spending way too damn much time in Hamilton and is looking to do some exploring.
And couchsurfing is the best when you're broke and like to meet new people.

Interests

Dre digs radical politics, video and board games, and can throw down hard on a dancefloor when given the right conditions.

• dancing
• politics
• movies
• board games
• traveling
• social work

Music, Movies, and Books

A has quite eclectic taste in music. Currently she's developing her DJing skills and is into electronic dancey things as well as trap remixes of pop songs.

She's seen every movie you might want to watch, which is only minorly annoying because she doesn't mind watching them again and probably fell asleep while watching them the first time.

Book-wise, she's currently reading Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (one of my favourites). I know this because i can currently see her.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Andrea has been really brave in standing up for her friends in the past.
She also somehow managed to make mostly-unripe plantain with condensed milk taste good.

Teach, Learn, Share

A can teach you some sambalicious drum beats, how to make subversive embroidery, and can give you a new appreciation for videogames.

She can also share some sweet dancing tunes with you, some of which she patently stole from yours truly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dre can share a wealth of knowledge about the world, can help out with chores if need be, and tell you thrilling stories about her delightful sketchy friends from Hamilton.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, England
