I love traveling, meeting new people, and having adventures. I love a good discussion. I'm interested in philosophy and psychology and writing. I love books, movies, and board games. I'm a bit of a nerd, but I also love being outdoors, and I even enjoy working out! I have a pretty dynamic range of hobbies and interests. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its a great way to meet new people, learn more about a place from a local's perspective, and travel around without spending all my money on accommodation! Haha :)

Music, Movies, and Books

As a rule of thumb, I love any movie or book that makes me think about it, in depth, for days afterwards!

For movies, I like Inception, Limitless, 500 Days of Summer, The Prestige, The Phantom of the Opera, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Timer, Tanged, 10 Things I Hate About You...the list goes on, I promise!

For books, I tend to like Fantasy. I love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, The Uglies Trilogy, The Selection, Ella Enchanted, and of course, Game of Thrones!!! :D

And last, but not least, I love good music. Jazz, Indie, Alternative, Folk, Singer/Songwriter. That kind of stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am someone who likes having quality discussions about life and all its wonders. I am passionately curious about many things in this world. I am happy to learn more about your culture while teaching you about my own. (Not all of us Americans are the same, trust me!) I have an excellent sense of humor, in my opinion, and I love a good laugh. :)

Countries I’ve Lived In

New Zealand, United States
