Hey there guys, I'm Sophia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For lack of better words, yes, I'd say I'm a fairly laid back person. I appreciate every other individual I encounter in my life for the lessons I can learn from them, both obvious and subtle. A good sense of humor is certainly the cure-all, don't ya think?

I'm a proud risk taker and I don't mind going against the grain...especially if it means standing up for the little guy.

Bliss for me is taking naps under a tree with a book, having late night campfire talks beneath the stars, seeking out local hole-in-the-walls, and getting down on the dance floor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Happy to meet great people in this unique and personal context that perhaps I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come across otherwise.

Interests

Living in new cultures and connecting with its people simply. I geek out on anything to do with science, poetry, food, language, activism, yoga, Vedic astrology, or permaculture related. Going on a road trip? Call me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Ooph. Good music is good music, I definitely think there's something to resonate with in every genre. Gregory Alan Isakov, Modest Mouse, The Beatles...

Movies: The Goonies, Little Miss Sunshine, La La Land, Interstellar, Bourne Trilogy, Kill Bill Volume 1&2, Up, Hidalgo, and many classic tearjerkers. Otherwise, I’m hooked on documentaries.

Books: These days, philosophy of all sorts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming alongside wild dolphins. Can't forget the feeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Compassion, empathy, and love...why not?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I provide decent company that I'm more than happy to share with you if you want it, but I'm also just as content with respecting your want for space. I'm a big listener, an optimist, a helping hand—let me know how I can help! I'd also love to show my gratitude by treating you to a drink, meal, ice cream—pick your poison, I'm on it.
