I'm just starting to catch the wanderlust bug. I'm excited to see new places, mostly to see what different city cultures are like. What does it mean for such a large group of people to have a culture? I want to see what different places are like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to go places, but I want a warm place to sleep at the end of the day, because that's such a good feeling after long days of adventuring.
I also really like meeting new people! It's so interesting to get just a taste of a person by hanging out for a few minutes or hours or days.

Interests

Science is awesome.
I really like biking! I wish I could have my bike with me any city I went to but that's not so easy.
I love singing; I've sung in choir all my life, ever since a few Sacred Harp experiences as a kid stole my heart.
I am into juggling devilsticks, although I'm not a pro yet.
I like puzzles.

Music, Movies, and Books

Podcasts: I love Hello Internet and 99% Invisible. Close second goes to Dear John and Hank. Also super enjoy The Moth and Radiolab.
YouTube: Vlogbrothers, CGP Grey, Wheezy Waiter are my top picks.
Music: rock, punk, indie, post-rock, I love experiencing new/weird stuff.
Movies: The Princess Bride is the best movie of all time. The Blues Brothers, Lord of the Rings, The Avengers. I refuse to ever watch The Room again but it was worth doing once. Maybe.
Books: I wish I read more; I'm generally into nonfiction and fantasy. Current book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which I've been meaning to read for a really long time, I'm excited to see if it lives up to the hype).
