Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm very new to traveling, and would like to be able to actually meet people and build connections in the places I visit. I was introduced to Couchsurfing by a friend, and was a bit skeptical at first, but Couchsurfing really seems like an amazing community that I'd love to be a part of.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Death Cab for Cutie, St. Vincent, Kate Bush, Kimbra, Arctic Monkeys, The Mars Volta, MSI, are some of my favorites but my ears are always open. Movies: Fight Club, The Shawshank Redemption, Snatch, In Bruges, anything Monty Python, anything with dry humor or a good twist. Books: Invisible Monsters, Peony in Love, Fight Club, anything else by Palahniuk, and most of Shakespeare's plays (Measure for Measure/King Lear are my favourites).
One Amazing Thing I've Done
When I was 17, I volunteered at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah over spring break, and adopted my wonderful puppy, Dali.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach - I can tell you anything you want to know about coffee, and how to brew it. Learn - I would love to learn other languages, and how to cook! Share - I'm pretty open about my life, my interests, and my opinions. I also try my hardest to remain reasonable and open to all views, so if we don't agree on certain things, I won't get angry.
What I Can Share With Hosts
If you'd like, I can bring my coffee brewing equipment and make you fresh coffee every morning that I stay with you (just let me know!). Other than that, good conversation, an open mind, and my company. (:
My Interests
Coffee, video games, Shakespeare, Chuck Palahniuk, good food, good people, and good times.
