CURRENT MISSION

A summer adventure....a new place, a new job, a new experience.

ABOUT ME

My life consists of colorful people, ridiculous costumes, delicious food, great music, and inspiring conversations. I am a very goofy girl-next-door type with a sense of adventure and a mischievous smile. I am seeking new experiences and possess an appetite for life. I am a performance artist and a producer of a comedic burlesque and variety show and I run an afterschool arts enrichment program for k-6th.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch and live in a dynamic part of STL featuring lots of fun shops, restaurants, and activities...let me show you around my fav parts of St. Louis.

I want to travel and not just stay in a hotel. I want someone local to show me why they love where they live. Show me the unique places that I won't find out about through a tourist website.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've now hosted quite a few travelers and have had a blast learning about these folks on their journeys.

Interests

I love singing, acting, dancing, juggling, learning new aerial silks tricks, riding my bike, walking my dog, suckin' face with the love of my life, taking pictures, eating delicious foods (and cooking them too), rockin' my face off to my fav music with my ipod, listening to npr, discovering new bands, building art projects or costumes, reading good books, and so much more. I am a doer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done some amazing things in my city St. Louis,but for summer 2011, I want to live in another city. I want to be indiana jones minus the nazis and threat of death :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn. Show me how to do something cool. I'm learning how to juggle and poi juggle - we could learn together. I can teach you how to let go of you inhibitions and perform. I love performing and love teaching it. I'm very lucky because I teach my passion.

If performing ain't your passion, I'll at least teach you a few cool party tricks :)
