About Me

Psychology student studying on exchange in Norway :) I love music, playing guitar, and learning about other cultures! I've never been to Europe before moving to Oslo, Norway so this has been a huge leap for me. It's definitely been something I've grown from though. I think coming here was the best decision I've ever made, haha!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In an attempt to learn more about the world, I'm planning on traveling through parts of Europe on my own!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Classic Rock (The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, etc), Art Rock (Velvet Underground, David Bowie, Lou Reed, etc), Progressive Rock (King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Camel, etc), Space Rock (Hawkwind, Gong, etc), Kosmiche Rock (CAN, Neu, Eloy, etc), 90s Rap (KRS-One, Mobb Deep, The Fugees, etc), Modern Rap (Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, etc)

Movies: Mostly comedies and inspirational movies. The Jerk is probably my favorite comedy and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty would be a good example of the latter :)

Books: 1984 is obviously a favorite, but right now I'm reading I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not one to brag, but if anyone is curious we can talk about this in person :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play guitar a little bit, so I'm willing to teach chords if anyone wants! Also more than willing to practice English with people!

I would love to improve my Norwegian, though!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, high fives, a random American's perspective on Trump, and kindness :)
