Originally from Chicago, IL, I studied in London from Sept 2012- Feb 2014. I loved it so much that I moved back to London in March 2016 and have lived here ever since!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great way to meet people from around the world! I've heard nothing but positive experiences from friends who have used it.

Music, Movies, and Books

-Books-

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, Phantom Tollbooth (a childhood and present favourite) by Norton Juster, Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman, The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

-Music-

I'm kind of all over the place, but my most recent gigs have been Bon Iver, The National, and Odesza. I'm seeing Jon Hopkins in Nov. and Peter Broderick in April. Other than that, listen to a lot of post-rock & instrumental, folk and indie rock, electronic and dance, old school hip hop & rap.

-Movies-

I never go to the movies/watch movies. I can probably count the number of movies I've seen in the past 5 years on both my hands. Older favourites (back when I used to watch more movies hah) are Little Miss Sunshine, Gladiator, and Inception.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked The Grand Canyon! Rim to Rim to Rim :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything and Anything!

I love to learn about others experiences and cultures while sharing my own. I'm always up for a run or hike to take in some nature.
