I'm a free thinker with a warm demeanour and a thirst for new experiences. I enjoy hiking, backpacking, and kayaking; experiencing the awe of natural beauty first hand. This fall I'll be studying sociology and anthropology.

I believe the foundation of a good relationship is mutual respect. As such, I am polite, open-minded, and make an effort to be respectful of you and your space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of seeing how locals of a different region live. I think it is a great way to learn about the local scene and meet like minded people.

I'm often out of town on some adventure, hoping to find a place to call home-base for the night!

Interests

A nature and culture enthusiast, a fun night out to me often looks like a bonfire with some cool people or wandering around the city lights.
I love all forms of artistic expression from visual art to the performing arts.
I really enjoy different subculture groups, every area has them and they're always so much fun. I'd like to check out any interesting exhibits or nightlife in the area if you have any suggestions!
I love discussing oddities and having conversations of substance as opposed to small talk.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like off beat movies and retro filming styles like Gregg Araki and David Lynch.

I really do like a wide range of music genres, but I tend to favour the rough kind of recorded-in-your-basement 'indie' acoustic like flatsound, elvis depressly, and teen suicide. Alternative rock bands like la dispute, deftones, and crosses. Disco and pop music are also fun. Experimental electronic like aphex twin, boards of canada, xploding plastic, coil, and drone music are interesting.

I love haruki murikami and will read anything he writes. I've been working on finishing infinite jest by david foster wallace for a while, but I also like night vale and edgar allan poe. I'll be honest though, I've read a frightening amount of manga ahaha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed up through a tiny hole-tube in a cave and came out on top of a mountain temple in Vietnam that overlooked the whole city

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not very experienced in any fields but I have an interest in learning about almost anything.

I dabble with ukelele, painting, and photography. My real knowledge tends to be in social awareness and the social sciences. What I really love to do is hangout and play some board games, probably catan ahah.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very respectful and polite guest! I'll respect your space and your belongings. If I'm around for long enough I can make you dinner, I'm well versed in vegan cooking.

Mostly I hope to share good times, meeting like minded people from different areas :)
