我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I had some really positive experiences with couchsurfing in Germany and I think it can be the best way to travel, meet people, and learn more about local culture. One of the most frustrating parts of traveling can be feeling like you just scraped the surface of what the place you're visiting really is. Coming from a big city where I've seen many people visit and leave without understanding what the city is really about, I want to stay with locals in the places to which I am traveling in order to get a better feel for where I am staying, what the parts of the city are that you fell in love with, where the injustices are, etc etc.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: everything from the Arctic Monkeys to Beyonce to Odesza to The Oh Hellos. Honestly if I can sing along to it, I'll learn to love it. Or if I can dance to it (I'm a conventionally terrible dancer but I love to dance anyways).

Books: Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Americanah, Gender Outlaws, Harry Potter, All About Love
I love reading but find I never have enough time to spend on it as I'd like. I'm looking to read more bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and the like.
