Hi! I'd be happy to share music, language skills, help cook and clean, whatever's needed. I grew up in California, love the outdoors there especially Yosemite, and have been living in DC this last year working at an immigration non-profit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I loathe staying at hotels, not only for the price ha but because I like meeting people on the road. I hope to host people when I get settled someday!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- anything with a brass section, piano from jazz to blues to classical, most everything else
Movies... a good tearjerker, romcoms, international films, and of course comedies
Books- lately self-helpy books on Buddhism haha. But my favorite is historical/political fiction (Steinbeck, orwell)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I led a big band in college of about 15 people, we did covers of my favorite songs. Definitely a highlight of life- all downhill from there haha.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can definitely work on Spanish or learning musical instruments. I'm interested in learning Hebrew and Arabic right now as well as other instruments.
