I'm a southerner currently living in the steel city annnnnnnnnnd very new to couchsurfing!

Louisiana is weird, but it's home. I just graduated from LSU and now I'm an AmeriCorps VISTA trying to end poverty and stuff. trying to find a balance between savoring the world and saving the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite authors are Kazuo Ishiguro (Never Let Me Go, Remains of the Day), John Steinbeck (Travels with Charley, East of Eden), and of course, J.K. Rowling. Oh and The History of Love by Nicole Krauss was absolutely beautiful so go read that now.

Movies are harder because I am verrrry picky with what I give 2 hours of my time to (besides my couch), but my favorites are Amelie and Anchorman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ZORBED in New Zealand and it was as cool as it looks! I was 14 at the time, so it sort of feels like I wasted it on a stupid teenager, but hey, maybe I'll be going back soon. other top contenders include! crowd surfing at Voodoo fest, indoor sky diving in austin, zip lining through the cloud forest in ecuador, and getting THE LAST TICKET to a Shins concert in New Orleans about two hours before they started.
