CURRENT MISSION

See and learn what I can, and try to enjoy myself along the way.

ABOUT ME

I am friendly and curious about life. I work hard at everything that I do. I am a little bit shy, but I'm a good listener and I like to chat to people once I've gotten to know them a little bit. I'm used to communicating in languages I don't speak very well!

PHILOSOPHY

Always try to do better, and be satisfied with your progress along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to surf and host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with fabulous girls in Seoul and Paris and I'm a total CS convert. Looking forward to surfing more, and to hosting when my husband and I are settled in London next year!

Interests

I like words, coffee, swimming, food, yoga, family, environmental responsibility, friends and laughing. I am a professional musician. I am tall and always sunburned.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm reading 1491, by Charles Mann. I love learning something besides music, for a change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dropped out of college to follow a boy to New Zealand when I was 21. 9 years later, he's my husband, and I'm a permanent NZ resident. (I finished college eventually, too)
When it works, there's nothing better than being alone onstage with the music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook. I teach piano and singing lessons. I bake bread and make yogurt. I have a good understanding of basic vinyasa yoga. I love helping people with their English, especially if they'll help me with a different language in return.
