Hi ! I'm Sophie and I'm a 21 yr old English Lit student in studying San Francisco. Spending this summer making my way from Amsterdam to Athens.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well saving money of course, but also looking forward to sharing cultures and spending time with people from around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorites are Blues/Folk/Experimental/jazz. Right now I'm really into John Fahey, Tom Waits and Jamaican dance hall music.

Love movies too - I'll see anything at least once. My favorite directors are Jim Jarmusch and David Lynch - super excited for the new season of twin peaks

I read as often as I can. Love reading poetry! Currently reading one of Sharon Olds' collections and a book of short essays by mark greif.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
