Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been on couchsurfing since 2011 when I was studying and traveling in Brazil. I hope to become more active now that I'm soon to be leaving Korea, traveling Europe, then returning to California.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had my first experience in Sergipe, Brazil with Everaldo! He is amazing! We had a great time. He came to visit us and we were able to host him in California.

Music, Movies, and Books

I´m always excited to hear something new and go through phases with music, a few things I'm listening to now:
Toro y Moi, Mac DeMarco, Chicano Batman, Kali Uchis, Lowrider Oldies (always), Kendrick Lamar, Grimes, MIA, CocoRosie, Tchaikovsky, The Cure, The Growlers, Bomba Estereo, Billie Holiday, Little Dragon, ...

Movies: I love international films. Anything that has depth, is funny, insightful or leaves you feeling like you just got punched in the heart in a good way. I've been watching a lot of Audrey Hepburn movies lately. My favorite that I've seen this past year: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.

Books: Currently reading The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin
I like sci-fi, magic surrealism, historical fiction, theory, memoir, etc...
Some authors I like: Junot Diaz, Etgar Keret, bell hooks, Zadie Smith,
