I am American who travels a lot and lives in different places every year or so. I am a musician and love meeting interesting people, and trying to go on as many adventures as possible. I love people that love life and value kindneas as an overall mode for their own life and the world. I am very easy going, a bit introverted, and very open to new things in life. I am extremely flexible when it comes to adapting to different situations in life and I find joy in experimentation and exploration.

I own a fine pastry business, so I also love making and eating dessert!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of spending time in a different city or country through the perspective and location of a local is optimum. For me the best part of travelling is learning, making meaningful connections, and expanding your mind in environmental obsevation. With Couchsurfing you can do this and also offer your hospitality, friendship, and cool ideas with others who want to get to know your city/country!

I have hosted some couch surfers very casually and unofficially at my place in Washington D.C.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The caves in Postojna are some of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always excited and open to learning new strange languages, and I have taken some initiative to start learning Russian and Arabic.... So we can swap communication skills!

I would also love to play music with any musician passing by.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a host: I can offer a comfy couch, good vibes, friendliness, a few meals, good conversation, music.

As a couchsurfer: I still offer good vibes, friendliness, good conversation, music. I can also make pastries!
