Hey, I am Anna, 22 years old, and a rather quiet person. I like to lead a simple and sustainable lifestyle, and I love to walk around cities, visit art museums and listen to (live) music. You might also find me in a bookstore or a cute café :)

I am studying Political Science and Social Policy in Dublin, Ireland. Since I love discovering new places, I came to Philadelphia to study abroad for a year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to make the most of my time here in the States, to visit as many places as possible, and to meet as many people as possible!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I enjoy everything that creates a nice homey atmosphere, could be jazz, classical, or anything else really. Recently, I've been listening to Allison Russel and Leonard Cohen a lot. I'm also always happy to get to know new songs and artists :)

Books - I read Emma and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for the first time this summer and absolutely loved both of them! Atonement by Ian McEwan and Apeirogon by Colum Mc Cann are two all-time favourites of mine. And, weirdly, I also enjoy reading non-fiction.

Movies - My favourite movie is Far, which tells the story of a couple travelling around the world just by hitchhiking, bus, train and ship. I also like La-la-land and Little Forest.
