CURRENT MISSION

To really feel.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently finishing up school in New York. I work in film, which is on the short list of things that I genuinely like to do. I'm a little intense, but I'm friendly and I like to think of myself as a pretty good host.

Also, I am a very good cook, and when I'm not on set, I cook -- and bake! -- a lot.

Vegan, not strict, but accommodating. Drinker, not a smoker, not a drug user, but I don't care about any of those things as long as the last two don't happen in the house.

PHILOSOPHY

My major guiding principle is to be authentically myself at all times.

Also, feminist and anti-fascist. Don't mess. But also don't worry -- we're pretty laid-back at my house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've traveled a good deal for someone my age, mostly alone, and I know how lonely it can feel to be in a new city, even if you're excited to be there. I just want to provide a friendly place for the travel-weary and make some new friends.

Interests

primarily work, but also cooking, printmaking, most of the 20th century art movements, literature and poetry when I have time (which is rare), drinking (don't hate), survivalist things
