I am a professional violinist, violist, music teacher, and fiddler. I also do some journalistic writing which I enjoy. I love being exposed to different cultures, cooking, trying foods, and learning languages. My work is mainly in classical music, but I also play Irish music and some Appalachian oldtime. I've been known to experiment with playing clawhammer banjo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I originally got on Couchsurfing to find a place to stay during the 2011 All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil in Cavan, Ireland. Now I'm on Couchsurfing to meet interesting people during my travels!
