I try to say yes to everything. I believe everyone has something valuable to offer, even if they're unaware of what that may be. I am terrified of technology, and the idea that people can't look me in the eyes for a few seconds but can stare at a screen for hours. I love people and am trying not to let NYC destroy my faith in humanity :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's really important to connect with people in cities all over the world, and get a sense of the lifestyles that exist all over the place. Oh, and NYC is stealing all of my money.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a music enthusiast, your taste in music says a lot about you ;) Favorites include: red hot chili peppers, caribou, the knife, cherub, little dragon, panda bear, beach house, grizzly bear, jamie xx, four tet, junior boys, cut copy, metronomy, toro y moi, yeasayer, strfkr, unknown mortal orchestra...the list goes on and on.

Currently completely addicted to reading Murakami, but my all time favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk. I love books that explore the overlap between the real and the outlandish/bizarre, and falling in love with characters.

And, I'm a horror movie junkie!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, positive energy, shamelessness and curiosity.
