Hello!
I am 28 years old and from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I play upright Bassist and Jazz singer. I have since I was nine years old. I have lived in Portland, Or and Vermont but right now I live in Milwaukee. I love music, art, books, film, meeting new people, and adventure in general. I am outgoing, fun and kind. I am an advocate for human rights and think that getting to know people from all over is the first step towards a deeper compassion and understanding for people's struggles everywhere. I am in many musical projects based out of Milwaukee Wisconsin but from November to March I will be in Europe with my partner Carl. We play as the Americana blues/folk duo, Nickel & Rose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My partner Carl and I are traveling Europe as the blues/folk duo, Nickel & Rose. We are looking for people to hang out with, exchange stories, drink beer, go to concerts and play music with if they are interested. We sound like this: https://soundcloud.com/nickelandrose
