Hello! I’m born and raised in the SF Bay Area.
I just moved to Berlin, where I’ll be studying Deutsch and then I’ll be pursuing studies in music for vocal performance.
Seeing the world has always been a passion, I have traveled for pleasure as well as for work, as a merchant mariner. I love to learn about different cultures, meet new people, and experience life with some spontaneity.

I sing and write, play guitar, and I am giving music a larger role in my life. Being in a new environment and meeting new people sparks a creative light in my life and fills my desire for excitement.

I’m excited to continue experiencing, creating, and growing and I look forward to meeting friends and travel-family along the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, connect with locals, and see cities from their perspective. It’s all about connection in life.
I love the opportunity to grow and expand one’s mind through travel, and there is no better opportunity to do so than with someone local.

Interests

Travel and growth. I’m interested in enjoying life in great company.
Happiness is a fleeting emotion but a life of purpose, of respect, of love, and a life built upon connection is what keeps me going

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you vocal exercises, proper form for swimming, or give me enough time and I’ll teach you to navigate

Learn:
Languages, Art, and Self. Since the start of 2022 I’m learning Spanish, and I just began German in August! I’m learning to play the guitar. I want to learn drums as well. And I enjoy learning more about myself.
But I most want to learn how you live in your city!

Share:
let’s share stories, experiences, meals, and friendship.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My perspective on life, the positive energy between friends, and great conversation. I love to cook meals, it is a way to express my care for others. And we can share more calm moments or enjoy the city’s night life as well.
As long as everyone is happy and safe, I’m having a great time!
