I am a 21 year old student studying costume design for film and television at UCLA. I am originally from San Francisco.

I am 23 years old and originally from San Francisco. I am currently living in Los Angeles and working as a stitcher at the LA Opera's costume shop and making all kinds of neat costumes. I expend my extra creative energy by doing all kinds of DIY projects around my apartment, making costumes and art for my own enjoyment, and very amateur gardening. I love making things with my hands.

In my free time I like to have my friends and room mates congregate on my sofa for drinks or movies or both. I am also currently working my way through the 'A Feast of Ice and Fire' cookbook.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm still new to couch surfing--I traveled in the UK over a year ago, but it was during peak travel season and I had no luck in finding a host. Since then, I have participated in the couch surfing community in LA by going to a few of the public events and meet ups. I have had two long-term couch surfers in the last year.

But now that I am able to travel again I am hoping that this time I will be able to make a new and enriching connection or two during my wanderings. I will be traveling alone so I would feel incredibly privileged not only to share the experience of a city with one of its locals, but to share the liminal experience of traveling with another interesting human.

音乐、电影和书籍

I crave any and all forms of fiction, but I especially like sci-fi, low fantasy, and crusty old period stories. But pretty much anything that is well-written or well-produced will grab my attention. Most recently, I read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I can also talk for a long time about A Song of Ice and Fire.

I like most music I can get my hands on. The only reason I would not listen to a piece of music is if its melody and/or rhythm only qualify as such in the abstract sense. Some of the artists I have most recently started listening to are Agnes Obel, The Birthday Massacre, Dust Bowl Revival, Fall Out Boy, MS MR, and SQÜRL

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've been skinny-dipping in Loch Ness when it was 5 degrees C, but the amazing part is that I did it with equally enthusiastic friends.
