About Me

I'm a college student, finishing school this year and then who knows? I'm a statistics major, also really into computer science, also really into writing music/singing/playing guitar. I'm in the process of (slowly) learning Spanish, and if you'd help me practice I'd be very grateful!
I like to cook, sing, rollerskate, tell stories, and learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always love to connect with locals during my time in a new place! Tell me about something you think more people should do/know about where you live. I love getting to know new places and people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge fan of music. I love hip-hop, r&b, folk, alternative, indie...I'm pretty open minded. My favorite artists include Bon Iver, Ella Mai, Father John Misty, Rosalía, Young Thug, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Travis Scott. But lately I've been listening to a lot of Arabic pop music.
As for movies I recently got into Taika Waititi's films; over the holidays I watched his newest one, Jojo Rabbit, along with Boy, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and What We Do in the Shadows, which were all awesome. I'm a big fan of comedies, but I can go for a drama too sometimes. I'm (very slowly) making my way through Bojack Horseman, which I think is a great mix of both.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing yet also inadvisable: my first time going camping there was 2 ft of snow, it was 0 degrees (Fahrenheit), and I got frostbite. It's a great story though!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can attempt to teach the basics of guitar/piano if you have one and are interested!
I'd love to learn about your favorite things to do in your city.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you a great meal! Some of my specialties include breakfast hash, stir fry, dal, and chickpea stew.
I can also share my music with you (either what I like to listen to or my original songs; you can pick!)
