COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've hosted a few times and it's been absolutely amazing!! and i hope to crash on a few couches sometime in the near future :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I have quite eclectic tastes in music and books but a definitive fetish for cheesy movies, particularly those from the 80s/90s and especially if they involve dance montages. Other all time favorites: Amelie, Across the Universe, Surf Ninjas

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i lived in a tent in Jordan for 3 months and was impressively dirty. I really loved that. Also spent some time volunteering along the Burma/Thai border working with refugees, so if anyone were interested I would love to pass on the info for getting involved.
