Hello! I'm a Canadian/American expat who's studying for a doctorate of music in Austin Tx. I love cooking, hiking, swing dancing, traveling, and all things music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister and I are backpacking Spain for the summer and are on here to meet new people and find places to stay. This is mostly my profile, but I have some pictures and information from my sister on here too.

**Please note: We are brand new to couch surfing and have not had the pleasure of hosting specifically through couch surfing yet (though we have hosted many friends and friends of friends in the past!). While we are abroad we are looking for couches to stay so unfortunately cannot accept requests at this time, however once we are back in our local cities we will be more than happy to host! In the meantime, we kindly ask that you do not judge this profile based on amount of times we have hosted...everyone must start somewhere :-)
