I'm an art lover working in D.C., in the arts as you'd might expect. Music is very important to me and so are diverse experiences, people, and places. I indulge quite often, whether it be with food or a nice face mask, because life is too short amiright? Long walks, meaty conversation, and a dip in some fresh water are some of my favorite things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've CS'd with friends and it's been a wonderful time. I'm looking to meet new people, and connect with those who share similar loves for intimate connections, unique spaces, and a world of fun experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a deep love for music, stemming from my childhood saxophone and piano lessons. Jazz and jazz-influenced melodies hold a close place in my heart, which honestly spans every genre. Underground SoundCloud producers are my favorite i.e. Soulection, Kaytranada, etc., bossanova is sultry, salsa keeps me moving, FelaKuti is always a hit for the culture, and while east coast rap is what I grew up on, Kendrick Lamar and that west coast amp sound will never get old. You play it, and I'll love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking up and sledding down Volcán Villarica in Chile the day after I was vomiting from not washing my fruit! I don't regret it to this day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you salsa and other Latin dances, and also how to cook with my special secret ingredient [redacted]. I'm hoping someone can share their favorite outdoor spaces with me! And talk hours about our life stories and who we're becoming in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for sound, good wine, and a listening ear with jokes on hand. I'm also very cleanly and always willing to redecorate.
