CURRENT MISSION

To make friends in other countries and visit them! Also, to offer my pull out couch in my hotel room in a different city every week. I am currently being paid to tour America and if you wanna crash on my hotel room pullout, you may!

ABOUT ME

I am playful. I love to laugh. Most would consider me silly. I am very artistic, not only in my performances, but also in my taste in films, music, visual art, and books. I've recently taken up painting, and have been doing one per city I visit(so about 1 every two weeks or so). I like to go out and check out restaurants and bars in new cities. I like to drink and stay up late if I'm enjoying my company. I like wine tasting, practicing my guitar(and learning chords from others...I'd like to meet you if we could barter some lessons). I don't ever watch TV, but I love movies. I appreciate nature and love hikes and camping, but am by no means an "outdoorsy" gal- I love make-up too much :-) NYC is my home base, so I know how to shop hard, work hard, party hard, and survive other people like me. I am single, 21, and so excited to EXPLORE THE WORLD! I having nothing tying me down right now. No boyfriend, no apartment, no school, just a year long contract of which I've completed 7 months!

PHILOSOPHY

Wait for the next thing in my life with joyful hope. I know that gifts of joy and love are showered on me if I just trust in the universe. I will never miss out if I enjoy every minute. I live my life to find love! I will get my heart broken again and again by boyfriend after boyfriend, friend after friend, casting director after casting director who rejects me, because I know that I have an endless well of love to fall in love again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am touring America right now. A new city every week. You are welcome on my hotel room couch if you'd like. But more importantly, I am planning a trip to Europe with my cousin (same age and gender...similar mentality...) this summer and we need a place to stay! She is a broke, talented, and fun-as-hell dancer from NYC. We wanna see Berlin, Amsterdam, and Paris.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a complete newbie. My sister has great things to say, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a reality TV show that aired for 6 months on NBC two years ago. Really terrifying, but I got to meet amazing people and get free spray tans one a week. hahaha

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE more than anything else, making mix CD's for my friends- sharing my music. I would love to share my knowledge of local bands from all over the U.S. I will be really patient with a non-english speaking guest and help them with their English. I will give mini-talent shows or hook them up with a comp ticket to my show Grease.
