Hello! I'm an actor/comedian, educator, and facilitator. For the last 2 years I have been traveling, volunteering, and performing around Asia. In August I'm heading back to the US to work with students and do anti-bullying trainings for an NGO. I will also be performing my comedy/music in the West Coast of the US and at festivals around the world!! Here is some of my comedy/music:

I have a diverse background including working the UN Refugee Agency (an OLD photo of me translating for Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt: http://bit.ly/2a70zks) working for tech startups, and doing street performance in Europe!!

I can't wait to connect and explore new places and also look for open mics and other places to perform!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am eager to meet new folks that are local to the places that I visit. I would love to meet, get to know you, and share stories from our lives as a way to better understand different cultures and the world!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: anything foreign, old, or indie. I love Ingmar Bergman, Hitchcock, and Wes Anderson (Rushmore is my fave film)

**Given my years living in DC, I'm also a political junky and read Politico.com addictively to read the latest trainwreck in the US political system/race

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the circus on the border of Ecuador and Colombia. We drove a bus around the borderlands performing clown/circus for indigenous and refugee families and kids and also taught workshops on juggling, stilt walking, and making toys out of garbage!!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to teach:

-guitar, improv theater, basic juggling, meditation, Spanish, and how to write product jingles (radio commercial songs for new products ;)

I can share lots of funny stories, jokes, songs, and meditation/yoga!!
