Overview
About Me
Hey guys! I guess the first thing I should mention in the "About Me" section is that I really love people. Talking, playing music, or just watching a good movie together. I also just really love music... pretty much all kinds. I've been playing piano for as long as I can remember, but growing up in a musical family, I've picked up some other instruments too. I'm never happier than when I'm playing music with someone new! It's my favorite way to communicate and become friends.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to meet new people in new places, so Couchsurfing just seems like the way to go! Also I'm a poor college student, so that definitely plays a key part! I haven't done all that much traveling outside of the USA. I hope that by using Couchsurfing I can grow as a person and meet some cool folks along the way!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I'd say The Beatles, but that's too easy. So right now? Father John Misty
Movies: Everything by Stanley Kubrick
Books: Magical realism, so Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Haruki Murakami, etc. (my favorite book of all time though is probably 100 Years of Solitude or Anna Karenina)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Still in the process: surviving as a native English speaker in Mexico, taking classes in Spanish!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love teaching music, I love learning about local music scenes in other cities, and I want to share new experiences
What I Can Share with Hosts
This is weird, but I'm into washing dishes... It's relaxing for me! Can't explain why. But yeah, working around the house is definitely something I would be into. And I can also share my perspectives and experiences if you're looking for something a little more abstract!
