I am a Canadian. I nerd out over Russian literature and medieval manuscripts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have couchsurfed before with friends, but I’m not in a position at the moment for hosting or surfing, but I like this app to find out about events and hangouts as it is a great way to meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am all over the place.

BOOKS
Apparently, I really enjoy gloominess in my free time, so Russian literature all the way...Chekhov, Dostoyevsky, Issac Babel.
And adventure tales like Don Quixote and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

I really love to read.

MUSIC
From folky rock like Father John Misty to beautiful, cathartic vocals like London Grammar.

MOVIES
Life is Beautiful, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino...I’m not a crazy movie buff, but I do like watching movies sometimes. Honestly though, my attention span caters more to TV shows like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, 30 Rock, Galavant...mostly comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept on beaches in Corsica. It was too expensive to stay in hotels, and we couldn’t find couchsurfing hosts there, but honestly, sleeping on the beach was the most amazing thing.
