Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In transition between continents at the moment and open to meeting up, but cannot host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been a great way to meet fellow travel enthusiasts and really cool people.

Interests

Having culture shocks, cooking new foods and dining, reading blogs, attempting to do yoga and do more things in the great outdoors, learning Romanian, of course travelling-in particular travelling like a local and not like a tourist.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm I have a very diverse taste in music. I usually go for art house/indie flicks, but some of my favorite films are The Color Purple, L'Auberge Espagnole, 4 Luni, 3 Săptămâni şi 2 Zile, Little Miss Sunshine, Mar Adentro, Welcome to Sarajevo, Water, and The King's Speech.I have too many fav books to list but top ones include The Bluest Eye, The Things They Carried, The Quiet American, & all of Zadie Smith.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A life of moving myself across an ocean in short notices and living out of suitcases!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a huge advocate of cultural exchange. I have lived in 4 countries in the past 5 years and visited a bunch of countries and made tons of global friends along the way. I'm happy to share anything about my experiences and in particular answer any questions about US culture/society to the best of my abilities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My wry sense of humor, traveler tales and yummy banana or fig bread :)
