As an artist, I am constantly looking to meet new people, hear new stories and narratives, and see new things to influence my practice. Being able to link up with locals while I travel is essential to beginning to understand new places, make authentic connections and fall in love with humanity. Plus money saving is an added perk.

I have a pretty random taste in music because interests expand across various types of dance and musical genres. I love kinda grungy indie/pop/rock Tegan and Sara The Arctic Monkeys The Kooks Cake The Killers The Alabama Shakes The Shins Etc Salsa and bachata and reggaton music is badass. The Latin top 40 is killer right now. More Life by Drake is an epic album (Drake is on fire, and has always been on point). Childish Gambino's Redbone album is amazing. Rhythmic indie music like Chet Faker or Ibeyi or Marian Hill is really great. A lot of oldies music. Prince is essential. Funk music, 80s dance music, certain classic rock stuff. Typically I like upbeat dancy things. Movies... Movies are hard, I don't see many of them. Get Out was rad. The Witch was sick. Zoolander is a classic. CATS the musical is basically my childhood. The Royal Tenenbaums rocks. Books... Vitamin P and Vitamin D = some of the best contemporary art surveys. Love those. Just Kids by Patti Smith The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. Really anything by her. Anything by Jonathan Lasker
