ABOUT ME

An architecture student at Columbia in NYC

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couchsurfed or hosted before, but I'm really excited to start and hopefully will add something to this field. I've lived in a dorm and in a flatshare though, so this makes my experience in sharing space.

Interests

Listening and performing music, theatre, dancing, building architectural models, art and pop culture in general, travelling to all kinds of places to work or study or for pleasure, take photos, people-watch and try food I've never had before.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical taste is a weird mix of pop culture: Scissor Sisters, Maroon 5, Amy; the Beach Boys and old-school rock'n'roll and Motown; modern Broadway music and some contemporary classical stuff.

Movies - mostly light-hearted and feel-good: Little Miss Sunshine, Midnight in Paris, Airplane!,Naked Gun Series, Legally Blonde, Hairspray.

As for the books, it's mostly non-fiction about things that I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18, I went on an internship in Germany, which was teaching English to a class of 20-something year olds with a nasty background.

Teach, Learn, Share

As for things to teach, I could give a piano class or maybe show how to cook Russian food. Or tell something nerdy about economic theories and philosophy of Dostoevsky.
