Hi! I'm an aspiring ecologist taking some time to see the USA before I settle in to more school. I like bugs, cooking, hiking, and reading. I also like meeting new people, and seeing how much every city in the US lives up to Pittsburgh, my one true citylove.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm pretty into sleeping indoors. ALSO I love to meet new people and learn about how they connect to the city they live in. I'm looking forward to the day when I actually live somewhere and I can host travelers! Down with motels!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love fiction. And sometimes even nonfiction. I could easily spend an entire day talking about books. My current favorite authors are:
Toni Morrison
Isabelle Allende
Haunani-Kay Trask
Margaret Atwood
Octavia Butler

I like a lot of music. I'm not good at talking about music. I like dancing to music.
These are some musical artists that I'm listening to right now:
Arum Rae
Bangles
Danny Brown
Digable Planets
FKA Twigs
HAIM
Mapei
ODESZA
The Fugees
Purity Ring

Teach, Learn, Share

Ummm I can talk about plants and animals a lot.

I can show you how to bake bread, in the process of baking you bread.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook! I can make you a mean pastry.

Aaand I guess I can paint you a sweet watercolor. I'm a mediocre water colorer.
