Found out about this site while biking cross country last summer. I used it once in North Carolina and although I planned on just having my account temporarily for that trip, I think I’m going to hold on to the app long-term!

I may only have one cited host feedback here, but I host cyclists out of my dorm room through another app called Warmshowers.com that I used last summer while going cross country. I have received only positive feedback and I hope to continue that trend here.

I am a linguistics student at Pitzer College in Southern California. I am also studying 3 languages. Spanish(8 years), French(4 years), Japanese 2(years), so far(2018). That being said, I spend most of my free time these days writing screenplays and watching movies in hopes of getting somewhere with that.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interests are like a vast quilt that weaves in all the nooks and crannies of Spotify.com, leaving no stone unturned.
Books: I listened to an audiobook of Atlas Shrugged last summer (2017) and loved it. Two summers before that I read Fountainhead and also loved that so I guess I’m an Ayn Rand junkie. A consistent staple of my reading diet is also without a doubt a steady stream of Kurt Vonnegut.
Movies: my consistent top 3 are Cloud Atlas, Mr Nobody, and City of God but I also rate every movie I watch and I happen to have about 40 movies I gave a 10/10 at the moment including these 3.

Teach, Learn, Share

(Teach, learn, share...?)
I can’t teach much even though my friends say I look like a professor.
I can learn a lot because I’m super nonjudgmental and although I am not a social butterfly, once I’m comfortable I am super open to learning and listening and talking.
I can share my coffee, I can share adventure stories.
