Hi there!

I love meeting new people and sharing recommendations for books, movies, music, places to travel. I am passionate about living my life with integrity and learning as much as I can.
I love to spend time appreciating art, whether it's paintings, architecture, film, music, literature, etc. I love to really dig in to those things and also to discuss them with other people who can appreciate them too :)
I'm passionate about politics and I really really enjoy discussing politics/culture/activism with new people from different backgrounds.
Roller skating and dancing are my main forms of exercise and what really brings me joy. I’m looking forward to exploring new cities with my 8 light up wheels.
I’m clean, tidy, quiet when sharing space, conscientious and mindful. I don't drink too much and I'm very responsible. But also fun :)
I’m fully vaccinated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: pretty much everything. Hiphop, funk, soul, blues, rock, pop, etc. Except bluegrass. It does nothing for me. Sorry. Haha

Movies: anything by Pedro Almodóvar. Recently, I've been enjoying Ciro Guerra/Cristina Gallego.
I used to work in a video store, so I could talk film all day.

Books: non-fiction mostly, memoirs, essays, graphic novels. Favorite fiction writer is probably Haruki Murakami

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a bachelor’s degree in a language I didn’t previously speak.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to roller skate so I’m down to help you improve your skills.
I am a mixed media artist, working primarily with textiles. I do natural dyeing and could teach you how to repurpose some of your clothes.
I like to cook and can make you a meal!
