Midwest (mostly suburban Illinois) bred and born singer, violinist, and writer - spent some time in NYC and then LA doing music and just generally meandering and experiencing life, really. Now I'm in Orlando. Still pursuing my music!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and hopefully find a better way to crash as I make music for more and more people in different places across the US. I would also like to find cool places to hike.

Interests

I've played violin since I was 5 and I also sing and play harmonica. I write soul music. Ran track and cross country when I was in high school and I try to keep up with running and also the gym as much as I can. I also love reading and writing. I also am a Vipassana meditator.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to and toured around France with a youth symphony playing violin when I was about 13.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Would be more than happy to teach violin, voice, or viola lessons (or viola). I also enjoy doing Vipassana meditation and I can teach you the basics. I am a great walking buddy and a great listener as well.
