I met up with some lovely people through this app while spending 2 months working in Europe and hope to continue now that I'm back home in Rochester.

I work as a real-time captionist for Deaf and hard of hearing university students. As side gigs, I'm a theatre critic and playwriting teacher.

PLEASE RESPECT that I use this app for platonic connection with travelers and cultural exchanges, not hook ups or dating.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Through encouragement from a lovely group of people I rented a car with in Croatia who met via CS!

Plus this feels like the app version of one of my favorite Sondheim songs, "Another Hundred People."

音乐、电影和书籍

Books: The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges, Babel by RF Kuang, Sidewalks by Valeria Luiselli, The Castle Cross The Magnet Carter by Kia Corthron, To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, Secret Scribbled Notebooks by Joanne Horniman, Body Work by Melissa Febos, Liar Dreamer Thief by Maria Dong, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel... these are just off the top of my head. I love YA and middle grade, memoirs, nonfiction, media and cultural criticism, queer rom-coms, graphic novels.

My new year's resolution is to watch more movies :)
