About Me

Hi all!

I love a few things in this life--mostly wine, art, singing, Italian, and meeting fellow travelers. I've spent a few months in Italy and Alaska, and now I'm looking to branch out to new lands!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet new people on my upcoming trips to Berlin and Iceland. Would love to stay at someone's place and get to know the local lay of the land.

Interests

I am always working on improving my Italian and would love to learn a little (or more!) German. I began opera training a year or so ago, so it would be much appreciated for my pronunciation. I love studying, drinking, and talking about wine. It's currently what I do for work, and I'm very passionate about it. I also like going to live performances--music, theatre, or dance.

Music, Movies, and Books

Folk rock, Indie rock, singer songwriters for music. Contemporary literature and creative nonfiction for books. Movies are wonderful, but I don't watch too many of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Found my long lost relatives on my trip to Sicily!

Wine advice, English and Italian language exchange, laughter, an operatic aria or two, and kindness
