ABOUT ME

Hello everyone! I'm a music teacher living in Kuwait. I have a Combined BA in Social Anthropology and Musicology. I love to sing and play music. I am incredibly passionate about critical academia, learning, and sharing. I am on couch surfing for the great conversation, shared meals, and travel with new friends! I am sensitive, passionate, and love to make connections.

PHILOSOPHY

learning to listen

surrounding yourself with people who remind you of how beautiful the world is

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have often taken travelers to Halifax out to see the city, and have hosted a few times in my home. I have mostly surfed and have had the most amazing experiences!

I'm concerned about the amount of invasive, unwelcome messages myself and others receive. Let's keep couchsurfing as a fun and safe community where all types of people can enjoy traveling and meeting new friends...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was able to stay with an amazing girl in Paris, next to the Eiffel Tower! Lovely.

I have spent many days in New York City with different hosts, and extended periods of time of one family in Ithaca, I had such a lovely experience with the Ozolins and am hoping to continue to visit them regularly. I am grateful to couchsurfing for allowing such a meaningful connection.

PLUS- all the great people I have met that have visited my city!

Interests

Critical academia, wine, popcorn, lipstick, feminism, education, sharing, food!

I love playing all types of music, and especially love talking about music (musicology!). I also love film and most other forms of expression.

Some of my greatest passions are travelling and learning. I love learning new languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping is a pretty spectacular experience, and I do it almost every chance I get.

Teach, Learn, Share

would love to teach anyone how to read music or play an instrument! I play a few and enjoy teaching.

I am almost always open to learning new things!

Interested in sharing learning experiences with new people. What a great way to get to know someone
