I'm a current college student studying comparative literature, which basically means that I like learning about cultures and the manifold ways people of all types express themselves! I am most comfortable among my books, but I am also a musician (violinist and singer), writer, aspiring artist, and baker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm abroad doing research for my senior thesis, which will in general be about astronomy, geography, and other imaginative work that early scientists did. It means a bit of archival research but also just getting to know the people, places, cultures, and histories that I'm studying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I get to make beautiful music with a beautiful set of people almost every morning. Take a listen! https://soundcloud.com/harvard/sets/morning-prayers-memorial-church

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/Share: I'm somewhat arts and crafty—origami, embroidery, some graphic design. I also love cooking and baking (especially Chinese food) and love sharing it with others!

Learn: Anything and everything! More specifically, I'm looking to work on some of my language skills (German, French) or pick up some new ones. I would also *love* to be taught how to make a good cocktail!
