About Me

Currently working an admin job that ensures I miss every cheap flight opportunity in the off-season, so I am very much missing travel at the moment. I hope to travel vicariously through surfers' adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of my favorite memories from travel have been of the Couchsurfing experience itself. I can only hope to repay a fraction of the kindness and hospitality shown to me in my travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Always listening to: The White Stripes, H. Hawkline, Wild Beasts, Townes Van Zandt, David Bowie, We Are Scientists, The Hives, Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, instrumental Jazz

Currently listening to: the radio?

Generally, I love a lot of movies. I try to watch everything with an artistically critical eye, but I love really dumb movies too.

I've lost the knack for reading, but I'm working my way back to it! Currently reading "I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder: A Memoir"

I love Nirvana the Band the Show.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hahaha one time I took a 20 hour bus ride (10 hrs each way) to go see the V and A exhibit on David Bowie in Chicago. Absolutely worth it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Some rudimentary German, baking tips, and marginal knowledge on a pub trivia team.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bake fairly well, plus I'd love to bring along some local coffee beans if you give me enough of a heads up!
