I'm currently writing my MA thesis in anthropology.

I spend most of my time writing, and when I'm not doing that, I'm biking around the city, hanging out in the park with a growler, reading, or drawing.

I'm a passionate person with a calm attitude, if that makes sense. I really like talking about culture, philosophical discussions about science/technology, health and medicine, mental illness, art, gender, critical theory, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to do some traveling for conferences in this next year, and figure couchsurfing is a good way to connect with people in some of the cities I will be visiting!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite novel has to be Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers; I also really enjoy 20th/21st century poetry (Mary Oliver, Sylvia Plath, Frank O'Hara, Richard Siken, Leonard Cohen, etc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently biked a mountain with my best friend with nothing but willpower and the promise of icecream afterwards to keep us going.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of interests, and love meeting others who are also open about sharing their passions (and in particular, things that I myself have not been exposed to, or know much about!) I enjoy learning about alternative perspectives, or, ways of doing things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy critical discussions about theory, culture, philosophy, and am always up for these types of interactions with others over a beer!
