Hello!

I am brand new to couch surfing, but am looking forward to meeting new people and making connections. I grew up on both the West and East coasts of the United States, but now live in Sweden where I am studying for a Master's Degree.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel, meet new friends, and learn about other cultures around Europe while I am living here.

Interests

I really love cooking, swimming, playing guitar, playing tennis, walking/petting/playing with dogs, traveling, and the arts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a fan of acoustic (Jack Johnson, dispatch, Mason Jennings, Dave Matthews, etc), Hip-Hop (Tribe Called Quest, Common, J-Dilla, Madlib, Grouch, etc.), and Reggae (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, etc)

My favorite movies are Bottle Rocket, Lost in Translation, and Darjeeling Limited

Lately, I've been reading the Karl Ove Knausgård books and think they are incredibly written

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked as an intern for a city-wide initiative that greatly lowered vehicle use, thus lowering emissions and pollution in Corvallis, Oregon. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share knowledge about the USA, ability and willingness to cook, help with cleaning or taking care of pet dogs, etc

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Italy, Japan, Sweden

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
