Hello! My name is Caroline and I am from the US. After living in NYC for 11 years, I decided I wanted to travel a bit more than the New York lifestyle was affording me. I currently live in Austin, TX and am in Madrid for one month.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The couchsurfing community seems like a great group of like minded travelers. I love the idea of meeting someone who lives in the city, rather than staying at a hotel. Inevitably, you gain more intimate knowledge of the city, which is wonderful!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Top 40 or jazz and classical when I'm working

Movies: Pitch Perfect - wish I could put something here showcasing my knowledge of interesting indie/cult films, but names escape me at the moment :-) Pretty much anything but horror. (Last horror movie I watched was Paris Hilton in House of Wax, just to paint a picture of my horror movie knowledge)

Books: Fahrenheit 451 is the only title coming to me at the moment, Crazy Rich Asians

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While visiting Indonesia, I did an overnight hike into a volcano to see blue lava.
