Overview
About Me
Hello! I'm a recent graduate looking to see a bit more of the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was born and raised in the Silicon Valley and haven't moved much since, so I'm definitely looking forward to experiencing what's beyond my backyard!
Interests
I love art of all kinds, books, cooking and baking, and meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Alt-J, Gorillaz, Sinatra, Arctic Monkeys, Beatles, and more
TV/Movies: There are many that I love, but Breaking Bad, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones are my ultimate triumvirate.
Books: Far too many to pick favorites from! Some of the writers I always return to are Toni Morrison, Neil Gaiman, and Vladimir Nabokov.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I used to be cripplingly shy when I was young and barely spoke to my classmates, let alone strangers. Eventually I got sick of it, so I pushed myself into anything beyond my pinhead's width of a comfort zone, like theater or debate. Soon I was able to rewire myself and function like a normal human being, made lots of friends, and found that I loved it all. I'm still an introvert and I still listen better than I talk, but meeting strangers is now so much more delightful.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Though I'm not the most seasoned traveller, I have lots of stories to share as well as lots of recipes.
