I'm a performing artist from California living in Lisbon.

I'm an opera singer and I do experimental cabaret shows.

I co-own a surf hostel called 7Waves Surf Hostel in Costa da Caparica, just outside of Lisbon. We have a beautiful house on the beach and two awesome dogs.

I love to cook and do Aerial dance and see performances. I love nature, music, wine and enjoying a sense of community.

I also have a lot of unusual interests to surprise you with in conversation when we meet :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot and love to meet new people, especially locals, and exchange conversion and share things together.

Interests

I love performers and artists of all kinds. I do aerial hoop and burlesque as well as perform lots of different kinds of music as a singer, including classical. I'm learning how to surf and how to ride a scooter and drive a manual car. I'm interested in foraging, wildcrafting, and also traditional food preparations like fermenting. I make my own skincare products.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Produced and performed my own show (2 of them in fact!) in NYC.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk about anything and I have a nice shallow well of knowledge on a very broad number of topics :) I also make a really good breakfast frittata and I can teach you how :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook and clean well, have positive energy, I sing. I can also offer language exchange, really good hugs, pretty good life advice, great stories, deep conversation, and lifelong friendship, and wine.
