CURRENT MISSION

I want to be creative until the day I die, inspire others' creativity, and infect those around me with joy

ABOUT ME

I am an avid musician - I grew up playing piano, and loved it ever since I can remember! I love performing, bringing others satisfaction, relief, joy, melancholy, or simply a chance to reflect and get to know themselves better. I would say I am a very sensitive person, open-minded, a loyal friend, and generally outgoing and spontaneous! I love children and the joy they bring. I am currently completing my doctorate degree in piano performance and teaching at the university of Michigan in the United States.

PHILOSOPHY

I think of myself as a clay bowl - people in my life come into contact with me and create marks in me, and perhaps I will experience and explore things I never thought I would, but that is the beauty of life. Each vessel is unique, and perfection is not the goal, rather personality and comfort in being who you really are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never done it before, but looking forward!

Interests

Music of course - I love classical and jazz, and am particularly drawn to more contemporary-classical music. I also love electronic music, and folk music.
Running - both a mental and a physical release!
Reading - whenever I have the chance I read fiction and poetry (and write a little too)
Outdoors activities such as skiing, fishing, camping, hiking, anything to explore the gorgeous areas I am in.

Music, Movies, and Books

movies - only the good ones. Books, a little of everything. Music - almost anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching children about the world through music is pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

People who are passionate about life, and have a positive view of the world those around them. Those who are unique and different then me usually teach me the most about myself, and who I would like to be.
