I recently graduated with my MA in English Literature and I now work as a content editor for a marketing firm. To keep myself from fossilizing at my desk, I like to take long weekend trips cities I haven't seen before. I'm particularly interested in art museums, the DJ/underground music scene (dancing of any kind, really), record stores, and good restaurants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think traveling is always better when you can meet people and find out why they love where they live. Always looking for niche recommendations and unexpected adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent an entire night wandering the streets of Glasgow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always looking to learn new recipes and discover new musical artists.

I can share friendship and an engaging conversation, particularly if we're talking about poetry, literature, or music.

I'm more than happy to cook and/or buy a round of drinks, if you're into that kinda thing :D
