CURRENT MISSION

Be true to myself, live my dream.

ABOUT ME

I'm probably the most easy going person you'll meet. I go with the flow and for the most part stick to myself. I'm transgender, if you have an issue with that, I don't want to host you anyway. Music and photography are where it's at!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a strong believer in pay it forward, so when I get a place I can call home, you can bet I'll host. I'm currently renting a small room in a tight house with many roommates. There is a 4 x 5 floor space, and that's all I could really offer at the moment. If you are in a tight pinch, drop me a line, I'll see what I can do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I moved to Seattle not knowing anyone, I didn't have a job, I didn't have a home, I was following my dream. I hopped on Couch Surfing and found Eric Smiley, a wonderful guy here in Seattle. I emailed him before I left, and sure enough, he let me stay for three days. I arrived at his home, and met him a few hours later after his shift at work. Eric made sure I was safe and okay with my new life in the city, and after 3 days, I still didn't have a place. I packed my bags and got ready to leave, but he insisted I stay. Three days turned into a week and I eventually found a sublease to move to. Eric had helped me more than he could ever know.

Interests

I'm a professional musician, and moved to Seattle to get involved in an active music community. Whether it's listening or playing I'm down to be around.

I'm a coffee buff, Aeropress, Chemex, Pour Over, you name it I like it.

I'm also an avid hobby photographer! I've been hired by multiple bands, companies, and individuals to take their photography. If you host me, let's go on a photoshoot, it's the least I can do!

Music, Movies, and Books

Tallest Man on Earth, The Milk Carton Kids, The Head and The Heart, Jack James, Coldplay, and hundreds of others.

I don't read much, I never turn the TV on, and I seldom play video games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was about 10 years of age, my mom took my brother and I to Poland. We lived there for three months where I went to school, traveled the country, and had one of the best experiences of my childhood. I'd like to back today as I'm older and visit the same places to see how much things have changed.

I'm also heavily involved in music, and in 2003 I went to Prague with a choir and participated in a music festival.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you a few things about guitar!

Learn: I'd like to talk to an animator, I'm trying to learn animation by self teaching and it's going slow... really slow.

Share: Seattle is full of awesome places! I can share so much about the city with you! I could share a meal or two as well, but unless you want a subpar home cooked meal, lets go out instead.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Staying with me you'll have access to the kitchen, the bathroom, and my bedroom. If you need to use a computer, I have one you can use. I'm looking at getting a bike soon, so if I have one when you arrive, feel free to use that as well.

I know the bus system pretty well, and can tell you all about the city!
