I'm a cellist, recently graduated with my bachelor's. I play in local symphonies and bands. I have always tried to be as eclectic as possible, and with cello I play rock, jazz, am a singer songwriter, and champion contemporary classical music, which is what led me to be able to go on tour with a group in Switzerland this fall. I love conversation and relaxing with people when I'm not in pursuit of my passions, and love people who give me new insights on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was lucky enough to be able to redeem airline miles for a trip to Montreal that's been on my mind for about a year. I've known of couch surfing even longer, and so now is definitely the time to finally get on it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my day off during the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland, a few of us decided to hike to the top of Mt. Pilatus, which is one of the bigger mountains in the alps. It was bad weather, and as we continued up, people we passed kept warning us we'd die if we kept going. But we thought, "eh, when it gets too dangerous, we'll turn around." And wouldn't you know it, that attitude got us right to the top. Sweaty, muddy, and ready for the cable lift back down.
