I'm obsessed with Bernie Sanders and the political revolution he's created. I'm a writer and artist. Love me some cats. Not gonna spill it all here (spent too much time on that dang ol' FB profile already), but I'm pretty into all the fine arts, Magic the Gathering, D&D, video games, movies, yoga, and of course, more stuffs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm cheap AF and think it might be fun to meet some peeps on my journeys. Traveling is my BAE. It should be noted that this paragraph is the first one in which I've ever used "AF" and "BAE." Did I do it right? Are they supposed to be lowercase?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three?

I studied abroad for a month in Turkey for an art course and met my BF in 2010, and that was the most meaningful trip of my life.

I spent a week alone hiking in the backcountry of Alaska on two separate occasions (once in winter and once in fall).

My brother, BF, and I traveled from Turkey through Romania, Hungary, and ended in Czech Republic in a three-week jaunt that was pretty thrifty and spectacular.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, I agree.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My appreciation for personal space, lots of gratitude and many thanks, a strange but fun(?) sense of humor, stories and listening skills, a love of cats, and generosity in the form of some food or object.
