I've never been good at filling these out, but I assure you it is impossible to be bored around me. I'm a quality-over-quantity girl in most cases (unless dessert is involved). My friendships are few but strong, but if I can bond for a day, I'm happy. I'm introverted but not at all shy. I like to do things just to experience them. I like communicating with people as long as there is some form of meaning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't think traveling should be reserved for those with lots of money. Two of my favorite relationships were forged in the midst of travel. I can't imagine selling my youth to the work force before I satisfy some of my travel needs.

Interests

Horror movies, books (though I've slacked in that department recently), singing soulfully, acting/theatre in general, animals with 0-4 legs. I will kick your ass at Monopoly. There are also things I like to do but am quite bad at, like drawing, painting, and baking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Florence+ The Machine, Panic! At the Disco, Regina Spektor, Mumford+Sons, The Civil Wars, but I like top 40 music too because it is easy to sing along to.

Movies: If it's scary, I've probably seen it. Harry Potter, anything Tom Hanks, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Django Unchained, Fury, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Titanic, Footloose (original), The Princess Bride

Books: Harry Potter, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lolita, Flowers in the Attic, Slaughterhouse V, The Catcher in the Rye, The Shining, currently tackling 'It' but it is hilariously long. What I've read of The Canterbury Tales is also nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed castle ruins and cliffs in Ireland. On that same trip I also braved a bus full of girls singing Fancy by Iggy Azalea on repeat for 4 hours. I was also stung by a jellyfish in the Bahamas with minimal whining.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not a great teacher, unless you want to learn about psychology or certain musicals. I'd love to learn languages and instruments like piano and guitar. I can share my humor. If you have a pet, it will love me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, silly stories, rousing games of any board game.
