Hey there! I'm Lindsey and I'm from Watertown, WI and am currently in grad school at UW-Madison. I love showing foreigners around the places I know best and love getting the same experience when I travel.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I studied for a year in Madrid, Spain for a year and I figured this was the best way to see some of the places I want to go to in the future but may not have a guide to show me around. I'm always up for making new friends and seeing new places!

音乐、电影和书籍

I really like listening to any and all music and I have this weird list where I collect songs from every genre that I think would sound amazing in a movie. Whether its indie, classical, pop or in-between I'm all for it (I'll admit I'm weary of Country if it's not the right time to play it!)

I also love all movies, but I usually gravitate to something either romantic or dark. I really, really love TV shows like Game of Thrones, Dexter, . My favorite movies are Vertigo, Roman Holiday, American Beauty, and Sideways and I really love Wes Anderson films.

I wish I had more time to read, but honestly in the past few years I don't do it as much. After a week of reading textbooks for hours and hours, it's easier to gravitate to watching films/TV than reading a book! I usually prefer thrillers/action adventure books because the pacing keeps me awake longer if I'm reading before bed.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

If we're talking amazing as in something I'm proud of, then I think it's amazing how many foreign people that I've tried to welcome into my "home" and by home I don't necessarily mean a physical place, but I always try to help foreigners find a way to make themselves comfortable in their environment. I think this is amazing not necessarily because I feel like I'm doing anything out of the ordinary, but I think it's amazing because of all the people that I have met and have shared their experiences with me. I think it's amazing how these people have helped shape the open mind that I have today.

教，学，和分享

Teach: English, film analysis, bake banana bread, how to snap your fingers

Learn: language, non-touristy food places in town, how to whistle

Share: open mind, willingness not to leave your place like a pigsty, I usually know the answer to the question "what other movie is this actor in?", I laugh at all jokes (even the bad ones)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I hope that I can share a love of trying new things, good, open conversation, and a positive outlook on this world and the people in it.

I would love if you could show me your city the way you see it, because what better way than through the eyes of a local?
