I'm a 21 year old American student who has a passion for learning about new cultures and engaging in quality experiences. I love history, art museums, and live music (blues to rock to ambient). Love me a dark beer or a cup of coffee too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet locals and to find out what they like most about their city. This is also a great way to make international friends! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Margaret Atwood and Kurt Vonnegut are my favorite authors. Midnight in Paris, Cold Mountain, and a couple of Tarantino flicks are at the top of my film list. At this moment, I'm really into Massive Attack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked at a candy store in the middle of the forest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I lived in Costa Rica for four months learning Spanish and the local culture. It was unforgettable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some great recipes! I love to bake and make pasta dishes so I'd be super willing to make some tasty food in exchange for a place to sleep.
