Overview
About Me
I'm a singer-songwriter and elementary school music teacher living in Oakland, CA. I love putting my bare feet to the earth, reading, talking to people, listening, dancing, singing and looking up at a clear night sky.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to travel by getting to know the people in a place and having deep conversations. That is a much richer experience to me than staying in hotels. I also want to be able to host people traveling through when I am in the right living situation to do so.
