Student of Spanish by day, Nursing by night. Moved around and lived in various states across the US, and living in St. Louis now.

I live with four friends in an old house in the heart of the city. I work overnight shifts in a group home of women with developmental disabilities. I play music. I love to talk, drink, walk around, eat delicious food. I love weirdos both confident and shy. Overall, I am very relaxed and flexible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As opposed to hotels or hostels, staying at a stranger's house is familiar to me.

For a few good years, played in various musical groups and toured all across the United States, and experienced all the main 48 (minus alaska/hawaii) states.

I got to see all the major cities as well as small rural towns on these tours. I was hosted in the homes of fellow musicians, friends who are not musicians, but mostly strangers. I loved the experience of getting to know all these places firsthand by folks who knew the city/town. In this way, I am a seasoned guest in stranger's homes. My gratitude for all of my hosts who opened their homes and hearts to me is eternal! I hope to find similar experiences through this couch surfing website!
