About Me

Heyyo. I'm from California and studied architecture in Switzerland for a few months, now Rome, and who knows what the future will hold..

Some passions...I love giving hugs, astronomy, collecting random sentimental items, and laughing 'till I shed some tears. I'd say my spirit animal is a giraffe. My favorite smell is the air right after it stops raining.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly to go to meet-ups when I'm flying solo in a city. I'm planning on surfing in the coming months. People are so freaking awesome; everyone has a story to tell and even if that sounds cheesy it's so cool to get to know people from any and every background.

Interests

Learning more about someone, walking around a city with no destination, experimenting with cooking, dancing until I can't feel my legs; making people feel welcomed and at home :)

favorite movie will always be the 1997 movie The Fifth Element.

- Clap Your Hands by Whilk & Misky
- Clair De Lune - Motez Remix by Flight Facilities & Christine Hoberg
- Dancing With Myself by The Knocks

Currently reading a book I found in a free box called The Persian Boy by Mary Renault and I'm lovin' it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first thing that comes to mind happened a couple summers ago in Lisboa, Portugal. I tried hopping a 4m fence and fell straight on my face. I got up ran to the concert but didn't realize my entire right side was scarily bloody. Three friends I'd just met rushed me to the emergency tent and after struggling to speak Portuguese, I was released! And the guys waited the whole time! And then we danced all night long.
