Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love the idea of traveling and experiencing culture from a local's perspective. I like the philosophy of Couchsurfing. I'm into good conversation, interesting people, story tellers, new foods, good wine, exploring, FUN. This winter I'm traveling across a bunch of cities and I'm hoping to surf along the way. I'm starting in Spain and heading to Milan (Dec 20-23rd), Prague (Dec 23-26th), Budapest (Dec 26-31), Berlin (Dec 31-Jan4th), Morocco (Jan 4th-9th), and Madrid (Jan 9th-11th). I hope to meet some surfers soon! :)
Music, Movies, and Books
I'm into a lot of everything music-wise. I like Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Led Zeplin, Queen, Otis Redding, Kanye, love 'Texas Flood' by Stevie Ray Vaughn-- anything with an electric guitar solo, Etta James, Sky Ferreira, Juvenile lol-- I'm getting into Kelala, FKAtwigs, I could go on... My favorite book is maybe Tar Baby by Toni Morrison or Another Country by James Baldwin. Movies depend on whether I want to laugh, cry or something in between. If I want to cry The Flowers of War with Christian Bale, if I want to laugh Scary Movie .
My Interests
I love outdoors-y things like hiking, beach-bumming, running but I'm also into big cities, nightlife etc. I love cooking and learning culture through food. I'm also developing an arts and culture site.
