Hello! I'm a laid back lady from Alaska who moved to Colorado Summer 2017. Recently, I've relocated to Santa Monica, CA. Beaches are nice, and I can appreciate them for what they are, but I still prefer mountains.

I enjoy exploring what this state has to offer in all the ways available to me. With that note, I'm not huge into substances. Not part-taking is generally my choice, and I respect yours.

I tend to be more of a listener, although if it's a topic I'm passionate about or have a lot of knowledge in I can really get going! Happy-go-lucky and relaxed, open to most any activity. Most of the activities I enjoy lean more towards solitary: reading, journaling, creative writing, etc. However, I will always sit down with you and enjoy space together.

If you like hanging out and talking, learning, walking, possibly goofing off in the park OR just drinking coffee with weird music in the background shoot me a message!

If you make a request, please include a spoiler from the most recent book or movie you've enjoyed. 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Oh gosh, I'm a fan of meeting others and exploring all of the different faces of humanity?

Interests

Although I don't get out to the mountains much, it's one of my favorite environments to be in! I listen to a variety of podcasts; what you missed in history class, welcome to nightvale(not up to date), and true crime.

My TBR list is consistently growing in size and yet I'm always looking to add more to my list!

• podcasts
• nature
• biking
• rocks
• walking around
• coffee shops
• lounging
• quality time
• walking barefoot
• reading and writing
• lo-fi
• hikings
• hiking in the mountains
• cooking together

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm definitely drawn to some strange music, but I will listen to anything. I'm have several spotify lists, one with hip-hop and rap, folk/indie/oddities, and then a metal/rock/alternative playlist. I have also listened to opera, musicals, classical, jazz, polka, and bluegrass often. Very eclectic.

I really enjoy animated movies. I've watched Moana and Lilo and Stitch more times than most news channels. I love the vibrancy of color available animation. Other movies I like are V for Vendetta, Pride and Prejudice, Studio Ghibli films, Blazing Saddles, Army of Darkness, and The Infiltrator. Another eclectic interest.

As for books, just take a look at the shelves if you come by. I'm on a bit of a 'self-discovery' kick, and would appreciate any recommendations.
