Overview
About Me
I "just" graduated university last May holyshitican'tbelieveit'sbeenayear. I studied English Literature, which means that I have few job prospects and little "practical" education. I figured the best thing to do now is to travel and see the world with my partner (when she's free!).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to explore and experience the cultures of wherever I go (especially the food!). I think the best way to do this is to get an insider scoop from people who live, breathe, eat, and sing that culture.

Music, Movies, and Books
While I do very much enjoy music and movies, I don't think I really *love* them—at least not in the way that I do books. It's my biggest flaw.
Favorite books is too hard, so here are some of my favorite authors (in no particular order): Shakespeare, Chuang Tzu, Montaigne, Rothfuss, Borges, Benjamin, Marquez, Pynchon, Milton, Woolf, Morrison, Hesse, Wallace, Nietzsche...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Volunteered with a coral reef conservatory in Madagascar.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to make all sorts of wonderful dishes from around the world. And I'm down to learn anything and everything.

Good vibes, conversation, and laughs. Also, I'm a very good cook :)
