Hey! I'm an epidemiologist & science journalist currently based in Atlanta. I love exploring, sports, eating & great music.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I've always heard wonderful stories about people met & adventures had via Couchsurfing. The people one meets on a trip are almost always more exciting and memorable than the places visited or food eaten.

Интересы

Sports: Baseball & tennis, all water sports (kayaking, sailing, white water rafting). I like hiking but am pretty slow at scaling mountains and such.

The Arts: I love all types of dance and entertain myself by ineptly imitating [I'm decently clumsy, so it's a lot of falling down]. I adore theater + literature, and am always up to see a new show or performance! My favorite work I've ever seen was The Pillowman in Dublin in 2015 - I was blown away by the staging and narrative.

I'll eat just about anything happily, at least once. Even if I don't like something, I can be easily bribed with ice cream.

Музыка, кино и книги

Personally, I don't have a FAVORITE anything - it completely depends on my mood and the time. That being said, here's a taste of my opinions right now:

Music: Alternative & Indie Rock, which honestly includes most things now according to the media. Foster the People, Vampire Weekend, Ra Ra Riot, JR JR, Young the Giant, Kishi Bashi

Movies: I'm all over the map, from Wes Anderson to Aziz Ansari. I like thrillers and comics (Usual Suspects, Watchmen) as well as satires and sentimental thought-provokers.

Books: Similar with movies, I really like dystopian fiction, both new [Maze Runner, Blindness] and old [1984, Fahrenheit 451, Fight Club]. I like wordplay and cleverness a lot, so any wry or witty writer will steal my heart. Jonathan Safran Foer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Haruki Murakami are all amazing and should be read by everyone!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

For better or for worse, I'll ask a ton of questions about anything and everything. I try to leave most conversations knowing a little bit more than I started!
