i enjoy and value cultural and hospitality exchange. i've had incredible experiences and made lifelong friends through this community long before it was an app. i've seen people's lives change as a direct result of CS: future partners and spouses meeting one another, people starting new lives by moving clear across the country after falling in love with a new city. it's a beautiful thing! though i've had varying degrees of negative experiences on here as well (and i have), the good far out weighs the bad. i've connected with lovely people i would've otherwise never had access to, and had opportunities to explore foreign places through local eyes. there is magic to be found here ✨

indie cinema/art house films. anything with feeling. loving 80's synth-pop new wave, as always.
