I'm a patient, thoughtful, grateful person interested in living well and being good to others. Above all, I love art and weird and beautiful experiences, whether they come in the form of music, painting, writing, or whatever.

I believe in being gentle with others, being compassionate and thoughtful in anything I do.

I love a good conversation where I come away having thought or felt something new or deeper than I had before, even just a little bit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My partner couchsurfed in New Zealand and Australia last year and had an incredible time meeting amazing people and learning about the cities she stayed in. I would love to connect with people in our trip together through Europe, especially because it's my first time and we're so excited about it!

I won an amazing flight pass but it has to be used before it expires on March 9th -- sadly we haven't had much time to plan so meeting locals through CouchSurfing would really help make our trip amazing.

Interests

I've come to Europe most of all to see important and moving art. If you love art too, I'm sure we would have lots to talk about!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love ideas and I love thinking. I love art that helps facilitate thinking profoundly.

I love Beach House, The XX, and beautifully weird electronic music. I also love ambient music and would love to chat about it.

I love philosophers like Derrida and Nietzsche, but I'm interested in all kinds of thinking and don't push my interests on others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I run a live variety show for artists and creative thinkers and it's one of my favourite things ever. I love helping brilliant people share their amazing stories and ideas!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach your about my favourite artists, philosophers, filmmakers, and the like. I'm also happy to teach what I can about clarity and grammar in English, since I work as an editor.

I would love to learn about local art, museums, music, or music venues, or your favorite books!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm quiet, conscientious, and easy to get along with. I'm up to chat or to stay out of your way as you like. I am happy to cook and clean to make our stay with you as easy as possible for you.

I'm also a professional editor and philosopher -- clarity is my thing. If you want some perspective on your thoughts or writing, I'm happy to help you work toward a clearer vision!
