Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with the two coolest girls ever in England and can't wait until I have my own place to host other people.

Interests

Riding my bike around town, traveling, writing about interesting people and the lives they live. I like shopping at thrift stores, collecting vinyl, listening to good music and watching obscure movies. I like to read and I also enjoy nature. People watching is fun, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Northern California was breathtaking. I remember just resting on a cliff side at a state park in Big Sur, starring at the vast ocean, sky, and cliffs surrounding me. I felt so small but so connected with everything all around me.
Backpacking throughout Europ was one of the best things I have ever done. Israel was enchanted,as well.

The Bonnaroo music festival I went to three summers ago, was surreal. I danced in the rain with my friends, and will never forget how wonderful it felt.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach open-mindedness and a perspective of the American media, music and art.
I want to learn about more music, art, media in other countries and the different subcultures and cultures that exist in each place I visit.
