I love traveling and meeting new friends!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new friends and learn about other cultures...

And to skin people alive and eat them. Just kidding! :)

音乐、电影和书籍

I was raised on The Beatles, Elton John, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Simon & Garfunkle, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, and Tom Petty. Moving to the American South added a little twang to my musical taste - some of my favorite contemporary bands are Ryan Adams, The Avett Brothers, and Mandolin Orange. I also love the indie-folk sounds of Bon Iver, José González, and Bowerbirds. And my musical guilty pleasures are Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, and Carly Rae Jepsen :)

Some of my favorite books are The Elegance of the Hedgehog, Everything is Illuminated, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and everything F. Scott Fitzgerald ever wrote.

The Princess Bride is my favorite movie. I also love Wes Anderson and know all of the words to pretty much every Disney animated classic.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Some of the things I've done that I'm the most proud of are: hiking the W trek in Torres del Paine in Chile, finishing a masters degree while working a full-time job, and learning to listen to my heart and follow my intuition.

And most amazingly, I worked a pretty boring desk job for eight years without going completely insane. Hopefully I'll never have to do that again :)

教，学，和分享

I can teach English or help you improve your conversation skills in the language. I'm always impressed that so many travelers from all over the world speak English so well - thanks, globalization!

I'm a pretty good cook, specializing in vegetarian and vegan dishes, and I love to bake - cookies, pies, brownies, cakes... tell me your favorite and I'll do my best!
