ABOUT ME

I grew up in Portland Oregon, all the way over in the western corner of the USA. Moved to the east coast in Virginia when I was 18, then to London when I was 20 to go to drama school. I spent a year living and studying (painting) in Aix-en-Provence and fell in love with France. I lived in Paris for 2 years studying at an International Theatre School (Jacques Lecoq). Since then I've moved back to Virginia and settled (at least for now) in Richmond. I work in coffee during the day and play music in various configurations, but primarily with my band Lili and the Dirty Moccasins.

I believe in living well and enjoying every moment. I love creative people who want to challenge themselves and those around them.

PHILOSOPHY

Eat to Live. Live to Move. Move to Make.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of my best friends were previous acquaintances whom I stayed with when traveling to their neck of the woods. It's such a unique way to get to know someone. I'm also always happy to host anyone I've met, whether I know them well or in passing. I'm so happy to have a broader network to do this...

Interests

Jumping off waterfalls, Sharing music, Cooking eye-and-mouth-watering feasts, Learning about new places

Music, Movies, and Books

My ultimate daydream is that someday Jack White and Karen O will walk into the coffeeshop (that I will someday open) and say "Hey, nice shoes. Wanna be in a band?"

My favorite book is Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke. I love the story El Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges - I have a tattoo of the title :)
