I'm a 4th year landscape architecture student at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA. I've spent my whole life on the West Coast but moved to Italy for a year abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is the best way to see a city: through a local's eyes. I love to meet open minded people and anyone who has a joy for life!

Give me a new perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite bands at the moment are Blonde Redhead, The Growlers, Sylvan Esso, Metric, and The Arctic Monkeys.

I'm a Wes Anderson fan and enjoy sentimental, offbeat films. I also loved Amelie, Submarine, and Ghost World.

I just finished reading The Alchemist and it's helping me find myself again. The Stranger (Camus), Of Mice and Men (Steinbeck), and Catcher in the Rye (Salinger) are some of my favorites.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share good stories and great wine.

I love demystifying the American culture, especially since I come from a multicultural background. It's neither as glamorous as Hollywood perceives it, nor as ignorant as our stereotype makes us out to be.
