About Me

Hi! I love meeting new people and am always up for trying new things, going on adventures, having deep and meaningful discussions, playing board games, hiking, rollerblading, or just relaxing and watching a movie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to make connections, have fun, and learn from and share with others. People I enjoy spending time with tend to be kind-hearted, open-minded, intellectual, optimistic, and adventure-loving.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite books include the Pendragon, Arthur Penhaligon, and Percy Jackson series, and other fantasy novels (Rowan of Rin and the Deltora Quest series were my firsts). Also liked some James Rollins thrillers and Brad Meltzers (Book of Faith and Book of Lies). Psychological thrillers are my favorite kind of movie (A Beautiful Mind, Vanilla Sky, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Cloud Atlas, Big Fish, and Watchmen are a few other memorable movies. Music interests are mostly Punk/Pop Rock (My Chemical Romance, A Day to Remember, Sum 41), but also classical music and bits of other genres like EDM and metal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made someone feel that they have a person to depend on.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy talking about mental health, philosophy, and science, and am always interested in hearing people's stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm friendly and open, so I'm cool with accommodating what's most comfortable. I also like to cook and enjoy experimenting with cooking vegan meals. I usually rent a car while I'm traveling and would be happy to bring anyone along who'd like to come with, or pick up groceries while I'm out. I also like talking about mental health, technology, science, health, and philosophy. I'll always clean up after myself and will respect your culture/rules/beliefs.
