I currently go to Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, studying neuroscience and Japanese. I'm a pop culture nerd and also a regular academic nerd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people while I meander my way across the globe.

Interests

I love film and music, and am a writer myself (do I sound pretentious yet?). Anything that is used to tell a story, I tend to be very interested in. I'm also very interested in languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most kinds of music, though I listen mainly to rock and hip-hop/rap of many languages. I'll say my favorite movie is Amadeus, though I agree with Roger Ebert's idea that you can't really make a numbered list of art you love. I also really love magic realism and fantasy books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I talked to Maya Angelou once! Or rather, I silently freaked out while she talked on a phone with words directed at me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure how much I can teach, but I'll learn and share what I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My delightfully quirky personality? I'll do chores, pay for drinks, and teach you Japanese or obscure pop culture trivia facts.
