I'm from the United States, and I am traveling without any intention of returning.
I spend the maximum amount of time that I am allowed in each country. I started in Romania, where I have been volunteering in a hostel, an orphanage, and teaching English. I intend to go to Germany and Spain for sure, but I may take my time getting there. Iran is the most exciting place to me at the moment, but US citizens can't go unless they're on constantly guided tours :( I want to go back to the Middle East, but I'm headed to Argentina to stay for a whiiiiile!

"I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love." - Sylvia Plath

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To share our experiences, languages, cultures, to make new friends across the world, obviously.

I wish I had hosted more when I had a place. The next time I find myself living in a place for an extended amount of time, I will continue hosting.

MOVIES
I don't really watch movies, to the point where its kind of pathetic what I haven't seen. I'll watch movies with friends, but I never do it by myself. I like weird stuff. I really like documentaries. Stuff about psychology or nature.
Random movies I do like:
The Land Before Time, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Punch-Drunk Love, The Hobbit, Fightclub, The Place Beyond the Pines, How to Train Your Dragon, The Lion King, Gran Torino,
I like dumb Netflix series better than movies, for example: Trailer Park Boys, Parks and Recreation, Rick and Morty, Portlandia

BOOKS
A Separate Peace, The Awakening, Siddartha, Living Nonviolent Communication, The Untethered Soul, Brave New World,
