I'm generally a very calm and friendly person. I can be on the quiet side, but I really enjoy meeting new people and having new experiences. I love learning and try to make the most out of each day. I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life, so if you have any advice I'd be more than happy to hear it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an Au Pair in Mulhouse right now and I want to experience as many new cities and meet as many new people as possible. I've only heard positive things about this site and the people on it, so I figured I'd give it a try!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite authors are: Adrienne Rich, Tarfia Faizullah, WG Sebald, Chimamanda Adiche, Virginia Woolf, Nicole Krauss, Patti Smith, Julio Corázar, David Foster Wallace, Nick Flynn, Italo Calvino, Jane Austen, Ben Lerner, etc.

In terms of movies: I love Terence Malick, Fellini, Lars von Trier, Ingmar Bergman, and Woody Allen's films and anything a little more substantial. I'm always in the mood for foreign/independent films.

Right I'm really into Mitski, Agnes Obel, Abd Al Malik, Fakear, FKA Twigs, True Widow, Chelsea Wolfe, Alvvays, SZA, Banks, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Typhoon, Daughter, Grimes, Purity Ring, Wye Oak, Edith Piaf, Washed Out, Lucius, and many many other musicians. I also really love classical vocal music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month and a half in Nepal before university, which was pretty amazing / difficult / eye opening.
