I'm a 27 years old theatre artist, often working with video tech for theatre and music performances. I love writing and directing my own theatre productions too. I love working in the arts and how it allows me to explore as much of the world as I can while working on fullfilling projects. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, where I met a lot of the collaborators I work with in theatre, while I also travel and do freelance theatre work around the country.

Last fall I worked with a theatre company based on a 100ft sailing river barge ship traveling down the East coast of the US. At the end if the tour, I rode my motorcycle toward and got as far as Missouri before I ran into wintertime and had to park my bike for the session.

Now that is springtime, I'm headed to pick up my motorcycle parked at my aunt's house in St Louis. I plan to take two days on motorcycle riding home, and looking for some cool people to stay with along the way. I'm traveling with a sleeping bag and ukulele strapped on back of my motorcycle.

Earlier this year I rode motorcycle from my home in Minnesota, to New York to meet the ship on the Hudson River. I stayed with friends along the way, and camped in some state parks along the Great Lakes too. Once I joined the theatre-ship I strapped my motorcycle on deck as we traveled down the IntraCostal Waterway to Florida over the course of two months. I'd love to tell you all about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people while traveling and that's a big part of why I enjoy traveling alone. It allows me to be open to more new things and experiences. I often visit friends and play music, share meals, and stay on couches. Currently I'm traveling through regions where I don't know anyone, and am hoping to connect with some cool hosts through this site.

Interests

While traveling I love to explore free opportunities like parks and museums. By night I like checking out music and having a beer at a dive bars too. Karaoke anyone? I love meeting people around the world and hearing stories and learning about new perspectives.

I write and play music on guitar, ukulele, singing, and trumpet when one's available.

Recently I enjoyed snorkle diving with friends in the Atlantic off the coast of Florida, and we swam in a labrynth of mangrove trees on an island. Something I savored and definitely won't be available back home in Minnesota.

Teach, Learn, Share

I write and play music and would be happy to teach you some songs on my ukulele, or on guitar or trumpet if you have one available. I do yoga regularly, often on my own when I travel, and would love to learn or share how I practice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to play music, and teach some songs. I love to chat the night away, or be an adventure companion on the town. Weather permitting we could go for a motorcycle ride too. Have some heavy lifting you need a hand with? I could do that too!
