I am a very respectful and polite houseguest. Happy to live by your rules and come bearing chocolate :)

I love to laugh and make people laugh. I love to explore new cities, make and eat good food, and ideally I would be playing music constantly. I love long distance running, literature, singing, painting, and good conversation. I also adore long bike rides and walks around new cities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Everything so far had been positive. I personally prefer CS to staying in a Hostel/Hotel because I absolutely love meeting new people, you get a more in-depth look at the culture and lifestyle, and I really like getting people to teach me new recipes. :)

Interests

Opera, jazz, books, tea, moleskines, food, passion, funny looking musical instruments, good conversation, languages, painting, running, mountain biking, frisbee...the list goes on. I'm pretty much down for anything once, and there are very few things I wouldn't do twice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really don't like TV, but can enjoy a good movie if I'm in the right mindset, and it's a really good movie.

Music, yes, all.

Books are my guilty pleasure. I love classic literature and good writing. I keep a journal with me everywhere, and I love when a writer turns a phrase in such a way that I'm inspired to copy it down with my own handwriting in turn. I also am a fantasy geek; not sorry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a marathon once. But I saw a group of cancer survivors kick my ass.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love people who are independent thinkers, who are open-minded and who genuinely enjoy life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, so I would be happy to make you dinner in exchange for your hospitality!
