I'm a college student, very very close to graduating (God willing). I'm studying abroad in Italy right now, and trying to take advantage of the fact that I'm already in Europe to travel more while I'm here; inter-continental plane tickets are expensive.

Slightly more distinctive: I've been spending the last year or so working with a friend, trying to scan and compile the entire works of this totally forgotten 1920s book illustrator. I'm also vegan, but a friendly one, I promise!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because I don't just want to visit a city to see the monuments; I want to meet the people there!

兴趣

The boring stuff – reading, listening to music, watching films. I love walking around cities and especially small towns, and just getting to know the feel of other places.

Plus, and more excitingly, I like mixing drinks, swing dancing, and playing the guitar.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once kissed my girlfriend goodbye and then hopped backward into a moving train as the doors were shutting. I thought that was pretty awesome!
