Howdy!

My name is Edythe! I recently moved to the East Coast from Los Angeles after 10 very interesting years. I love cinema, music, and DIY/underground culture in urban settings. I'm an on-again, off-again student (studying German), and I love meeting new people and being open to new experiences. I also love cats and have two, Marilyn and Kennedy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to build a network of people to correspond with, both here in the States and abroad. I'd like to be able to travel to U.S. cities and find the nooks and special places that locals enjoy. Eventually I'd like to be in a place to host as well :)
