About Me

I joined CS to connect with locals and find great hosts to share time with while I travel through Europe for the next few months. I have been living in San Francisco, CA for about four years and am originally from Denver, Colorado.

Interests

Patternmaking and Apparel Design. Painting painting painting. Illustration. Walking everywhere. Greeting animals on the street... and people ofcourse. Good vegan food. Long naps under the sun. Riding my bicycle through the city. Eating grapefruit sorbet all the time. Going to flea markets and vintage markets.. I love natural history museums and art museums.

Music, Movies, and Books

favorite movie: I love Pedro Almodovar films, old 20's silent films, and films with a very interesting aesthetic and good twisted story. La Mala Educación. The Dreamers. Lucia y el sexo. MirrorMask. The Golden Clown. I'm not so much into the typical "happily ever after" Hollywood films and am horrible with filmmaker names but I do have a particular taste.

Music: Nina Simone always. Roberto Carlos. Simon Diaz. Bola de Nieve. Serge Gainsbourg. Get Back Guinozzi. Satie. Helado Negro. Bebe. Booker T & the MG's. El Perro del Mar. Yé-yé music and sometimes some really cheesy old soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been known to scarf down a whole bag of chocolate chips or pastries... yeah probably more gluttunous than amazing.
but seriously...
Currently traveling for three months which is probably the most exciting to me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share whatever skill I have that my host might be interested in. I could teach someone how to sew or we could just share laughs and a bottle of wine.
