ABOUT ME

Laid-back, but not lazy. Easy to get along with, but not a pushover. Happy to meet new people and excited to have new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is an awesome way to learn new things and meet new people. Staying with people who know the place that you are visiting makes traveling that much more enriching, and it is helpful! Budget traveling + cool, inviting people = a happy traveler

Interests

Eating good food, intersectional feminism, psychology, camping, riding horses, farming, and pushing myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy pretty much anything and everything, but I have a particular love for anything funky and danceable, or electronically influenced

Movies: never scary movies, especially the kind that get inside your head. I generally enjoy comedies, unexpected twists, and nostalgia.

Books: too many to mention (though not enough lately), but here are a few: East of Eden, The Power, The Bell Jar, Pachinko, Underground Railroad...etc etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied and lived abroad in Istanbul, Turkey, which was more challenging than anticipated, and very rewarding.

Teach, Learn, Share

My appreciation for teaching, and teachers continues to grow. Teaching is also one of the best ways to learn, though it can be thankless at times. My sharing is great (as long as its not food that I want to eat for myself haha).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Real, honest talking and respect. Every relationship with a new host or friend is different, and I will just let what I can offer each host fit who they are once I've come to know them.
