I never know what to write in these. If you have a specific question, pop me a message, I guess.

Oh, and I have a pet hedgehog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, and part of the love stems from meeting different people who had a different upbringing or from a different culture than me.

Interests

Football (soccer), traveling, reading, human genetics and biomedical engineering, excellent female role models, world history, food -- eating and (trying to) cook, makeup, dogs, spies-- real or fictional.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, Harry Potter, Ready Player One, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Catcher in the Rye, The Book Thief, The Bees, 1984, Fever Pitch... Those are the books I never leave behind when I move. I do read a lot. A LOT. And not just books, but comics as well. Hawkeye by Matt Fraction has got to be my favorite series.

I like listening to a variety of music, doesn't matter what genre. I do have faves though, like Gin Blossoms, Lifehouse, London Grammar, Coldplay, and more recently, Sam Smith.

Fight Club and The Breakfast Club -- hands down my favorite movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not really amazing or unique but I've traveled alone in a non-English speaking country.

Also, I've had a conversation with Arsene Wenger.
