Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people energizes me. I've been fortunate in my travels to experience the unbelievable generosity of strangers. If you give people the chance to be kind and help you, they will. I'd like to offer the same kindness to people traveling through my hometown.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play quiet music loud and loud music quiet. Poppy punk and DIY and lo-fi.

I like most books.

I like movies that are a little bit slow and nice to look at, and also post-apocalyptic films. Future worlds.
