I love everything about couchsurfing's intention and community. One of my personal goals is to "Make Strangers Less Strange". Our society has us getting more and more fearful of each other. I want to work to change that trend. We're all just people living this crazy existence so of course it makes sense that we open our houses to each other.

I've never been super savvy when it came to my taste, particularly in music. I listen to a lot of everything but find myself mostly into folk music i.e. Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, Joni Mitchell, etc. Or musicals. I come from a very theatrical family. My favorite movies list is always evolving but a few from my current highlights reel are: The Lives of Others, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Moonlight, I Heart Huckabees, and Thirteenth. Memoirs are my favorite to read these days and I read/listen to any and all. I also read Flowers for Algernon recently and that was beautiful. Podcast- Invisibilia!
