Why I'm on Couchsurfing
A friend told me about the variety of experiences & people he met while hosting, & it intrigued me! I know there's many here that like to tread off the beaten path, & I'd love to meet them. I'd like to see new places, meet new people & have mutually fun & enriching experiences.
Music, Movies, and Books
Right now I'm listening to house, lounge, bossa nova, but I really like jazz, smooth jams, R&B.—Jessie Ware, Amel Larrieux (of Groove Theory!), Goldfrapp, Paradis, Solange, more! Mostly these days I'm reading design, lifestyle books & the Bible.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Traveling is my true passion, & though I haven't been to many places, I am grateful for me thus far few opportunities! I stayed a summer with a friend traveling all around Mexico in the summer of 2010, & I studied abroad in Nagasaki Japan Fall of 2010—both amazing experiences.
