My name is Eden Jean Grey and I am a librarian.

I am passionate about everything I do and all of my interests. I love libraries and what they do for their communities. I am a cosplayer and I love becoming another character and going to conventions and meetups.

I am a librarian who works with teens and I really love my job! I am passionate about making a difference in people's lives, especially for youth, and I am so passionate about libraries, too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am travelling to Japan for the first time with friends and I want to experience it the right way!

Interests

I absolutely love books, manga, and cosplay! I'm a huge otaku and book nerd and get super into everything that I love. I read as much as humanly possible, mostly manga and Young Adult Fiction. I also enjoy writing and am finishing the 4th incarnation of a Young Adult Sci-Fi Novel.
I am a Slytherin, a wanna-be Pokemon Master, and an aspiring Gundam Pilot. I would love to tell you about Homestuck :P

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm obsessed with Ellie Goulding and Halsey, though I also love some old-school rock like Metallica and Soundgarden. I also love Ayumi Hamasaki and Rie Fu, as well as Kyari PamyuPamyu!
I love books! I love Young Adult Fiction, and my favorite authors are Andrew Smith, Tahereh Mafi, Carrie Mesrobian, and Laini Taylor. I also read a ton of manga; right now I can't get enough of Servamp, One Piece, Madoka Magica, and Blood Lad!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? Well, these things are more like guidelines than actual rules, right?

I've tried raw sugarcane from the back of a farmer's truck in rural Mexico.

I've gotten lost inside the Louvre.

I won a free trip to L.A. to see the Mockingjay Part 1 Premiere.

Sometimes my dachshund listens to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and try new things, especially languages and food! I am not quite fluent in Spanish, but almost, and have experimented with Ojibwe, Arabic, learned a bit of French, and am starting on Japanese. Languages are fascinating and so much fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My enthusiasm for trying new things! I'm always up for something crazy or unexpected, no matter the time of day or weather.
