Always trying to be a little more helpful, a little more joyful, and a little more thankful for all of the strange adventures that life has to offer!

In Malaysia for the summer. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and find more interesting places to stay when I travel. Hopefully one day to pay forward every last bit of hospitality I've been shown.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much, and excessively eclectic.
Currently:

Music - Hozier, Florence + the Machine, the Hamilton soundtrack, Sara Bareilles, Warren Zevon, The Civil Wars, The Beatles, Lily Allen

Movies - I'm more of a TV junkie actually... I don't have the patience to sit through a 2 hour movie but can power through an entire TV series in about two days. But my favorite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And documentaries about the ocean help me fall asleep, I find them really soothing. Maybe in a past life I was a fish?

Books - The Unbearable Lightness of Being, White Teeth, Harry Potter (always), American Gods, anything by Michael Pollan or Bill Bryson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've taught English on 3 continents.
I also performed in a play on a houseboat in Paris where I had to participate in a rap battle and I have the cringeworthy video evidence to prove it.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I hope to do with my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A sense of fun and adventure, and lots of appreciation (plus lots of wine/beer/tea/whatever you're into) for letting me crash at your place! I also love cooking and would love to cook for you, but I don't promise that you'll love what I cook. ;)
