I'm goofy and fun-loving. I like to pretend I'm not emotional, but sometimes I cry at Disney movies ;)

Seriously though, about me...I was born in Ottawa, Canada and raised in a small town near Boston, USA. I grew up near a handful of llama farms and around the corner from a few neighbors who have horses and/or chickens. I'm currently a journalist, but that's ending soon 'cause I'm moving to France in October 2016 for a year. :)

I'm laid-back - if you wanna hang, let's hang! If you're busy, I totally get it. I'm really considerate of others' living spaces - I've lived in a zillion roommate situations and I'm pretty flexible according to who I'm staying with.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Cool people, unique experiences, and comfy couches!

For now I'm on here solely as a guest, but I aspire to one day have my own couch so I, too, can host. :)

兴趣

I play soccer here and there, and I really like to read and write. I also love being outside, hiking and being near water (and in it). I also like yoga and bouldering!

音乐、电影和书籍

Music...I love Shakira. But other than her, I am a sucker for British pop rock and 90's/00's alt rock. I listen to world music when I write - stuff you might hear in a Nepalese craft shop or a hookah bar - and am a fan of swing jazz and country. I like most music I hear.

Movies! I like Snatch, The Royal Tenenbaums, Chocolat, and other cinematographic gems, but frankly there is no movie that cheers me up on a bad day quite like White Chicks does.

Books: I was, and am, a Harry Potter geek. I am not ashamed to admit I had a big crush on the Weasley twins. But I also like "Everything is Illuminated" by Jonathan Safran Foer, and "Atonement" by Ian McEwan...and others.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

*Climbing a stream in Jamaica and sitting in a hole behind a waterfall at the end with friends
*Trying to see the medical school where my granddad was a student in Prague, and then getting to see it solely because I got sick and was admitted there
*Seeing a concert in a thousands of years-old ruin in Israel where I saw the bassist of Radiohead collaborate with an Indian groove orchestra and famous Israeli singer

教，学，和分享

I'm a supporter of all three... :)
