ABOUT ME

I'm a dancer, amateur banjoist, dog lover, nature walker...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently looking for a new hometown. I left Brooklyn in September, and as much as I love it, I want to live somewhere less rushed. One day I will be happy to host couchsurfers, but for now I am just traveling and exploring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined! Austin, TX will be the first city that I couchsurf in.

Interests

I love to dance! I specialize in American Vernacular Jazz Dance which is lindy-hop (swing dancing) and the strange solo dances such as the Charleston that accompany it. I also love Appalachian folk dances such as flatfooting (similar to clogging) and square dancing.

I am currently learned banjo... slowly but surely! I play mostly clawhammer style.

I have a wonderful 9 year old golden retriever/lab mix who is very sweet, calm, and definitely house broken. I love going on long walks with him in a park or the woods.
