Recently graduated U.S. student (Creative Writing + English) traveling Europe until I run out out of money...or time on my Visa. Can’t wait to host some couch surfers myself when I get home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Save money, practice extroversion! In seriousness, my first experience Couchsurfing was so welcoming and warm and I want to meet more people in the community!

Music, Movies, and Books

So many great books—I just finished writing a thesis on female friendship in literature, so I can talk for ages about Zadie Smith, Elena Ferrante, Claire Messud, Sally Rooney, and others. Reading Proust for the first time now, luxurious...always wide open for book recs! Toni Morrison, Jamaica Kincaid, Miranda July, Doris Lessing...so many good ones.

Movies— really love quiet hardy movies full of animated lovable bodies—just saw Ava, God’s Own Country, Call Me By Your Name...always open to suggestions!

Music-hall—electronic, house, hip hop, but really bad at listening to music consistently and remembering it...ask me about podcasts, though, and I got you

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a novel! Okay, I haven’t finished it, but can I ever pitch it

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with English (English major), especially writing/editing (applications or grants or emails or plaintive love letters you need to get written? I know I have some...). I can share vegetarian secrets!
