I am from the United States, but lived near Barcelona for 6 years. I moved back to the states in 2012, but I cannot stay away from Europe, especially France. I am a major foodie, love to cook and try new things. I am learning about wine as well so visiting vineyards is important to me. I love to spend the day at the beach or on a terrace drinking coffee and reading good books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to NYC on an adventure - it's last minute and I'm on a budget. Meeting my friend from Germany there who will be staying as well (looking for a place for two!)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love EDM and Indie mostly. I am open to anything. I listen to a lot of French music as well, like Serge Gainsbourg, Madeleine Peyroux, Coeur de Pirate, Camille, Vanessa Paradis etc. Houndsmouth, Bryce Vine, Beyonce, Lizzo, Cardi B, Feyi, Childish Gambino, Lorde - I could go all day.

Anything by Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson. Tom Hanks is my favorite human.
