Living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and working in publishing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because meeting locals is the best way to travel.

Interests

Fun, friends, and freedom. I like to hang out and chill, but I also like going to bars and celebrating the end of a long week. I like learning languages and am addicted to Game of Thrones. I'm a Disney movie fanatic, which is a shame, because when I sing in the shower, the shower head cries.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - "Sunshine Indie-Pop" (San Cisco, Smallpools, Goo Goo Dolls, The Killers, Train, Ingrid Michaelson, BØRNS, Misterwives, etc.)

Books - Game of Thrones (I'm addicted), but more seriously, I read a ton of young adult and picture books (I work in publishing!) as well as adult literary fiction (Jonathan Safran Foer, Michael Chabon, etc). Big fan of David Sedaris' essay collections and all that is classical antiquity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I hiked over dry lava to see the molten lava flow from a volcano in Hawaii.

-I walked on the city walls of Dubrovnik, which were built starting in the 10th c. and on which Game of Thrones was filmed (did I mention that I'm addicted?)

-I climbed to an ice lake hidden among the mountains of Eastern Anatolia. The locals convinced me to jump in to the freezing water and we celebrated with firecrackers and çay.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll pick up alcohol at duty free in the airport and we can have a night out on the town. I got the booze, you got the local knowledge of cool bars.
