Born and raised in Los Angeles, I have since moved to Berkeley for university. While I have a deep and profound love for the California sun, I find myself in Sweden on exchange this semester. I've been wandering around Europe on my free time, trying to soak up some inspiration, good food, and conversation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see new things, meet new people! I've couch surfed and hosted before and it has always been a great time.

Interests

Hammocks, morning hikes, a good chat over coffee, building things, sewing, landscape painting, cooking and eating (both equally), The Bauhaus, jazz shows, picnics, and a good margarita.

Music, Movies, and Books

A little bit of electronic, a little bit of folk rock, I'm all over the place!
I use to be a cellist so I have a huge appreciation for classical as well.
But really, I'm just in love with this video. Brace yourself:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I "backpacked" around Europe two summers ago with a 50 lb suitcase...

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: Chinese cuisine and customs, how to read music, what it's like to work at an experimental art gallery (did that last summer!), design like things, etc!

LEARN: Your understanding of and perspective on the city you live in and the world.

SHARE: Travel stories, stories from back home, stories my grandparents have told me, good ideas, interior decorating tips (I quite like moving furniture around)!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a low-maintenance person, and could really take up as little or as much space as provided. I am a respectful, polite person and clean up after myself. I lived in a TINY apartment with 4 girls for a year so I know how to share space and the importance of doing so!
