Hey! 👋🏿 My name is Moe and I'm a 20-something jetsetter that enjoys music, roller skating, dancing, swimming, cooking, cinema, and making nice memories :) (Read: I romanticize everything, unfortunately) I currently live in New York City and plan to live there for the foreseeable future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I feel like I've exhausted the travel list where my friends live (i.e. Texas, California, UK, Greece, France, Spain, Italy, Morocco) and after a few solo travel trips (New Orleans, Seattle, Washington D.C.), I think I prefer to spend the time with someone I'd have a baseline connection to. It's also INFINITELY easier to meet people in a new place when you have someone with you. My experience has always been that the first connection is the hardest--so hopefully I can find that here! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Ctrl (SZA), Love Deluxe (Sade), Watch the Sun (PJ Morton), channel ORANGE (Frank Ocean), Brasilian Skies (Masoyashi Takanaka), Friends That Break Your Heart (James Blake), A Seat at the Table (Solange), My 21st Century Blues (RAYE). I had to try very hard not to just list all Beyoncé albums in the correct order. (Which, if you were curious is: B'Day deluxe > Renaissance > Cowboy Carter > BEYONCÉ > Lemonade > 4 > Dangerously In Love)

Movies: Close (2022), House Party (1990), Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got (1985), Corsage (2022), Incendies (2010)

Books: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (My favourite *by far*), If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English, anything Toni Morrison, the Audacity of Hope, I'm definitely forgetting a few....
