Hey friends. Pianist, music professor, dog lover, nature lover, hiker, here. My dog Cinnamon and I love to meet new people and are always up for making new memories. As a teacher, I spend most of my time during the week coaching students and preparing for performances and enjoy weekend road trips to visit friends new and old. My brother raved to me about Couch Surfing, and after his unexpected passing in 2015, I joined as a way of seeing the world through his eyes and honoring his adventurous spirit. While I have yet to Couchsurf, I adore the whole concept of welcoming people into homes across the globe. Looking forward to learning from others and catching glimpses into your world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

“Great things...are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.” Steve Jobs

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:12

“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” C.S. Lewis
