CURRENT MISSION

Increase my musical capabilities through beauty, emotion, clarity and communication.

ABOUT ME

It's so hard to describe yourself in a paragraph or two. I'm 26. I live in the largest city in the United States. When I'm not at school, practicing or exploring I spend my days reading, watching documentaries on Netflix, sewing and playing piano. I like to cook. I love to vacuum. I've also been going crazy using my student tickets to the Met.

I have two cats: Daphne and Devora. They make me happy.

PHILOSOPHY

This one is hard to consolidate into a paragraph.

I'm a dreamer and explorer and student, and I like it that way.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few times, but haven't ever surfed. While staying in Paris, I made a few friends through some meetups, which was utterly amazing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a couple people. None since I've been in New York.

Interessen

I'm really into creating things. I quilt, do various craft projects, make ceramics for the tangible things. I also can create a pretty good meal if I try. Of course, the majority of my time is spent creating music.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

As trite or cliché as this may sound, the first time that I was on an airplane while it took off took my breath away. I, a bipedal animal descended from tree-climbers, was soaring into the air like a bird. I couldn't stop smiling. We sometimes forget the momentous achievements that humanity has already accomplished.

Whenever I see something ordinary in a profound way, I call it a moment of clarity. I realize the true depth of creation and ingenuity that had to take place to convenience me. It awes me and makes me grateful.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I know music. I could talk forever about the way the voice works.
