Hello! I'm a student studying visual arts and architecture. I hope to be an architect one day, and enjoy traveling the world learning about different cultures and seeing odd buildings. I'm always in search of new experiences! I'm a big believer in the solo travel experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people from all over the world, learn a little about their different cultures and backgrounds, and get their local insight into a new place. If you're looking to surf with me, please read my home tab first (I won't consider otherwise)!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of different music, but my favorite types probably lean towards dream pop/indietronica-- some of my favorite artists are Beach House, Gem Club, Still Parade, Seoul, Slowdive, Sales, The fin., The Radio Dept.,

Favorite movie would most likely be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Hugo

Favorite Books--this is a difficult one, there are too many to count--recent favorites are: Spandau: The Secret Diaries by Albert Speer, Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City by Nick Flynn, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje, Play it as it Lays by Joan Didion, Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak, The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America by George Packer, Speedboat by Renata Adler

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In December 2017 I completed a cross-country train trip from New York to LA! (It took 80 hours)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm open to conversation, would love to discuss any mutual interests, and generally hope to have a good time! I've spent the majority of my life in the two biggest cities in the U.S. (LA and NY), and would be happy to share my experiences, if you plan on traveling here one day, or are just interested in hearing what it's like.
