Born in Oregon, I've called Philadelphia home for the past four years during college. I love to travel, love the outdoors and live to run. Cooking and reading are favorite past times of mine, as well as watching funny movies. I live in northcentral Washington after undergrad, and have spent the last few years in the Portland area. I'll be moving to Spokane in August. Currently, I'm spending some time traveling, and spent time in Vienna, and Morocco most recently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a mix of weird mix of indie/funk/folk music. I will be a die hard Beatles fan til the day I die, and have a constant soft spot for the Decemberists. My favorite author is Huraki Murakami, and I love magical realism. I used to be a big fiction reader, but I'm recently into non-fiction. I am a big fan of dark humor in terms of movies, and anything classic.
