I am easygoing, down to earth, and always looking to connect with interesting new people. I'm a writer, a reader, a gamer, an activist, and a student-- both in the classroom and out in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to travel while I'm living in Europe, but I don't want to have to completely go it alone. Couchsurfing seems like a cool way to meet some interesting new people along the way!

Interests

Critical theory, intersectional feminism, psychology, global politics, as well as a spectrum of nerdiness that may be too long to get into here.

• writing
• womens rights
• politics
• traveling
• law

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut (though, I love pretty much all of his work), The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and so, so many more...

Movies- Fight Club, American Beauty, Persona, and I'm a sucker for Pixar.

Music- Kind of a mix of things, but currently listening to Hozier, Jonathan Coulton, Lauryn Hill, Martina Topley Bird, and the Hamilton soundtrack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, right now I'm working on a project to help asylum seekers here in the Netherlands pair up with Dutch investors in order to start their own entrepreneurial initiatives while they're waiting to gain status (a tricky legal gray area we're attempting to navigate). So, if that comes to fruition, it would be pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more than willing to share any knowledge I've picked up along the way, but I don't know concretely what I can offer to teach. I'll think on this one a bit more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, adventures, meals, conversation, philosophy, and good times. I am also willing to write haiku for anyone who fancies to ask.
