Hi there! I’m a 23yo girl from Seattle. I’ve lived in the city my whole life and graduated from the U of Wa with a degree of neuroscience. I caught the travel bug years ago when I lived in New Zealand for 3 months. Since then, it feels like I’ve constantly been planning my next trip. Growing up in the Pacific NW has given me a love of the outdoors and awesome music. I can’t wait to explore these in other countries around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore new places through the eyes of the locals. I want to understand a city the way the people who love it most do!

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC I can get down to almost any music! I like to think there’s a few different sides to my taste. The first is a funk loving, booty shaking, groove machine who listens to artists like FKJ, Hiatus Kaiyote, Vulfpeck, and more. The second is a mellow alternative indie chick who loves The Strokes, Whitney, Beach House, and alt bands like those. Finally, the third is a music festival magician who gets down to electronic artists like Pomo, Porter Robinson, Opiuo, and Rezz. It doesn’t matter to me as long as it sounds good and I can boogie!
MOVIES My favorite directors are Hayao Miyazaki and Quinten Tarantino. I love movies that a visually beautiful. Other recent favorites are Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, and Frances Ha. I can be a big sap and I love anything that gets me emotional 😂
BOOKS My all time favorite book in the world is Paulo Coelho’s book The Alchemist. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend that you do!
