I grew up in the states, but have mega wanderlust and just want to travel for most of my life. I have multiple ongoing and intertwining career paths: I've always been a musician - playing, writing, and recording music since I was a kid. It's just an ongoing part of my life and something I love to share and use to connect with other people (check it out: www.artwethereyet.com)

Hobbies: travel, dance (salsa!!), hiking, museums, reading (history and scifi are my favorites)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and connect with people around the world. It's a beautiful thing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Authors: Michael Crichton, Isaac Asimov, Orson Scott Card, Philip Pullman, Lois Lowry. Essentially, if it's a book about adventure or science fiction, I'm in.

Movies/Shows: basically the same as above. Shows I really enjoy: Cosmos, Planet Earth, How the Earth was Made, New Girl, Game of Thrones, The Last Man on Earth

Music: EVERYTHING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a night stargazing on top of a partially-excavated Mayan pyramid (with the locals' permission) while my sister mapped the night sky for an astronomy project. It was pretty damn awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you'd like to co-write a song or co-produce a recording, I'd love to. :) I'm also game to teach the basics of audio production/engineering and live sound, if you're into that. Or songwriting too.

If you're really nerdy, I'll gladly teach you about the geological origins of Hawaii and Iceland. And the little I know about other major geological features of the Earth. Just basically anything I know about geology I'll gladly share.

What I Can Share with Hosts
