I am a recent graduate. I studied Geography and GIS while at school. I now work full time but travel as often as my paid time off permits. I enjoy reading, hiking, music, going to concerts films and eating. I would be described as extremely easy-going and relaxed. I enjoy speaking with people and sharing stories and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would rather meet people who live and interact with a city daily than go through the routine of strictly doing touristy things and return alone to a hotel or airbnb. I have met some of the most amazing people who I call dear friends from couch surfing and I enjoy the connections you make with people all over the world.

Interests

My interests are quite broad. I love to learn and I am interested in so many topics from history, languages, physics. Most of my day consists of listening to podcasts while at work and the commute to and from. (Most interested in true crime podcasts at the moment). I love to be outdoors, go on hikes and camp. I also enjoy listening to music and going to concerts. Unfortunately, I am not much of a movie buff - I did not have a TV growing up and missed most pivotal movies so I am trying to catch up, but watching TV/movies is something I am not accustomed to.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of the books I have enjoyed recently are Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese and The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan. I have also been getting into reading digital comics recently, which is something I didn't think I would enjoy as much as I do.

My music taste is extremely broad and interesting. My Spotify top artists are Rich Brian, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Tove Styrke, Joji, Maggie Rodgers, The Careful Ones, and Lolo Zouai. However, I listen to pretty much any genre. Additionally, I love French and Chinese music a lot as well. Some French artists I have been listening to recently are L'Or du Commum, Doums, Krisy, Aya Nakamura and Lomepal. I also visited Korea and Japan recently so I've been digging deeper into Korean and Japanese artists which has been extremely fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have volunteered 500+ hours to make free meals for those in my community who suffer from chronic or life-threatening illnesses. I also skydived with my best friend for my birthday one year.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am more than happy and able to contribute to cooking, cleaning, household chores. Additionally, I love to cook. I have not gone to culinary school but I do enjoy cooking and baking. Two of my best friends are vegan so I have been learning to make vegan desserts as they are not as easy to find within my area and (if I don't say so myself) I make great cakes!
