Hello!
My name is Crystal and I am student at San Diego State University. I am majoring in Sociology and minoring in International Security and Conflict Resolution. I love learning about different cultures and societies- really just different ways of living. Super easy going and live off the spontaneity of life! Like Jesus said, "Love God and love people unconditionally"- definitely my life motto. Yes, I'm Catholic and if we become friends on Facebook you will become familiar with Pope Francis bc I love him :D. No, I'm not closed-minded, homophobic, judgmental, blah blah blah whatever else is thought of religious people. ahhh I wish everyone would take a sociology class or just be a decent human being haha. Anyhow, I promise I'm somewhat of a cool person who's really into traveling, meeting new people, music, intellectual conversations, politics, philosophy, coffee, beer, food and everything else great.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling to Europe this summer/fall and was introduced to this by one of my friends. I love the concept and I think it's such an amazing way to make lifelong friends and gain wisdom.

Interests

I LOVE anything involving humanities. Reading, philosophy, art, music, culture, traveling, etc.
Cafes/pubs/houses with awesome (live) music and good coffee is basically what I do with my life when I'm not in class. Add friends and good (intellectual/political/ philosophical) conversation=greatest thing ever.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is huge for me and my group of friends. Many of my close friends are musicians. I listen to mostly everything, but my go-to genre would be Indie-electro. Really into STRFKR, Passion Pit, Foster the People, Vampire Weekend, Cayucas, Craft Spells, Twenty One Pilots, etc. too many artists to list :)
