I have a goal to go to as many countries as my age, and so far I'm failing. I'm 22 and have only been to 12 countries. I want to travel as much as I can in the next year and study women in percussion and drumming. I'm a professional percussionist myself, so I want to learn about the musical culture in each place I stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling the world for a year on a fellowship from my university. I'm studying women in percussion (drums). I'm very easy going and I'm looking to explore as much as possible with your help! I'd love to help you around the house by cleaning or cooking dinner (people say I make a great guacamole). So lets learn about each other's culture through music and food!
