I'm 28. I just moved to Seattle. I attend 2 book clubs a month. I love my dog a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It will add some authenticity and forced human interaction to my traveling (I tend to be a bit shy and misanthropic when I'm not forced into cheery politeness)

Interests

I love to cook and read and decorate things. I also like biking and kayaking and brunch and quidditch (these are all sports). Sometimes I also play video games and sew :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sorts of stuff - Fleet Foxes, Architecture in Helsinki, Sylvan Esso, Janelle Monae, TuNeYaRds

Movies - I tend to like Big Important Oscar-y type movies, but action and historical dramas are awesome too. More telling is probably my favorite TV shows - Broadchurch and Luther and intense British drama, Jane the Virgin and Parks and Rec and other lighter, funnier stuff that still has real substance, and some procedural stuff - X-Files, How to Get Away with Murder

Books - I love fantasy and magical realism, from Harry Potter to David Mitchell. I am also unapologetic about my love of YA dystopias.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a quidditch team at San Jose State :) Both of my roommates and I still play, so we can talk your ear off about it, if you're interested.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an accordion but can't afford lessons, so if you can teach me a thing, that'd be AWESOME.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, so you'll likely enjoy a tasty meal. I also have a super cuddly, hypoallergenic doggie to enjoy :)
