CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel the world and do things I have only seen in movies.

ABOUT ME

I have recently moved to New Orleans to continue my career in music and food. I am a graduate from The University of South Florida with a major in Communications (Media and Culture concentration) with a minor in Psychology. I love to travel, listen to music, make friends, go to concerts, be active and eat great food. I am a very easy going person and I believe in living your life to the fullest and that's exactly what I'm doing. I am a very spontaneous person and just want to see all the worlds wonders.

PHILOSOPHY

Strangers are just friends I haven't met yet. Everyday is a new day and I intend on living it like it's my last. We have one life, so why not do it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed around Europe when I was living in Florence, Italy and then I couchsurfed around Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and some of Asia when I was living in Australia. I hosted a few times in Tampa and then couchsurfed all around America during my two and a half month trip across the USA.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, some of Asia, and America. All were amazing experiences and my hosts were more than helpful and kind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of the most amazing things I've done in my life time is zip-lined through the jungle of Mexico, Island hopped with friends in the Bahamas, and just recently Cliff jumped in the Amalfi Coast. While in Morocco I rode camels and hiked through the mountains. I also bungee jumped off the original bridge in New Zealand and went skydiving at 14,000ft in the U.S.

Musically, I've been on tour with many awesome bands and was fortunate enough to grow up around amazing musicians because of my parents working in Blues as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

From 2013-2014 I was an International Food Critic and Directors of Communications for Today's World Kitchen, a culinary website that connects award-winning chefs from around the world. I teach chefs and all different types of people about new dishes and techniques from chefs in restaurants from all around the world.

I now am working with in New Orleans doing artist relations and media for various bands and festivals. Previously, I was the Primary Booking Agent for musicians at Don't Fret Entertainment, Media Coordinator for two theaters in Boston, and I still continue to do my own Funk/Blues/R&B singing.
