I am a 26 year old musician who loves to travel, meet people, and learn new cultures! I am in the transition between school and work, so I am looking for opportunities to continue doing these things. I'm a violinist, so I gig around town, and am a fiddler in an Irish band.

I am scared of cats, but I love dogs! I love food more than anything, but I'm an extremely picky eater. I love to cook, but I hate baking. Biking is my favorite sport, and the beach is my favorite place in the world.

I have had the opportunity to travel to many different countries in my short life, but my favorite place has been Portugal. The people were super friendly, the food was great, the beaches were peaceful, and the city was alive at night. I'd love to hear about your experiences, as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is too short to wait until you're rich to travel. I want to see the world, but if I continue waiting, life will pass me by. I try to travel as much as possible, but it's difficult to afford when you are a student. I have heard great things about the Couchsurfing community. I have discovered that the people are generous and share the desire to learn about other Couchsurfers.

Interests

I love to have a good time, and having a good time generally includes one of my below listed interests. I have a soft spot for all living creatures. I love to run, bike, dance, laugh, and learn. Music has made my life what it is, and it is the most important thing in the world to me. I actually DON'T like learning languages, but I want to learn several. I am studying Spanish currently, but also want to learn Portuguese. My favorite thing to do in a new city is walk around, find coffee, walk around, find food, walk around, and then find a drink!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many types of music, and I am open to hearing pretty much any kind (except death metal).

I'm a Harry Potter nerd, so any of the movies or books can keep me entertained for quite some time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a music festival in Colombia with a friend of mine this summer!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share what I've learned throughout studying music... if anyone has a fiddle lying around, I can play lots of stuff for you! I can also share stories of experiences I have had traveling to different countries, and meeting people from different cultures! I can cook a little, but you may be able to cook better than me. I can definitely share with you a great desire to hear your stories!
