I think I'm pretty hilarious and easy to get along with. I'm a sociable introvert, so I'm perfectly content almost always... from partying to wandering alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, be exposed to different perspectives, and enjoy a new city with someone while I'm traveling alone.

Interests

I like to eat, I love to teach music, I like walking around historical places and listening to/looking at beautiful things, and I've been known to write a song or two. Above all, however, I enjoy a good cup of tea and a good book or conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes, yes, yes! I mostly love to read old romances, sci-fi, and fantasy (give me something with a happy ending, thank you). My movie preferences are similar, but, I'll watch a sad one, just be prepared for tears. Music is actually my life (career and pleasure); I mostly teach classical music and technique, but I enjoy listening to most anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm so grateful to be doing what I'm doing now: traveling the world. I never really thought that I'd get to do something like this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll happily give a voice or guitar lesson if it's wanted as a trade or something. I'm always up for learning. I love to share food (I'm half Persian, it's what we do). I imagine this section may be for a story, but I prefer to tell mine in person with many (too many?) jokes sprinkled on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music lessons, home-cooked meal (Persian or Tex-Mex). 🤠 I'm a Persian, Cajun Texan so the food from my particular cultural mix is really tasty.
