I'm an actress living with my entrepreneur hubby in Los Angeles. In Feb. 2017 we are moving to Miami, FL and I'm transitioning fulltime to digital marketing alongside my hubby. He's operated his own importing business over the past few years, but recently became completely digital. We're high school sweethearts and we both graduated from Southeast Missouri State University. During school, I studied abroad in Germany, France, and Ecuador. We've been together 9 years and are more like best friends than lovers. We also have two 4 yr old Basenjis, Tank & Nala, that look (and act) JUST like us.
My favorite fruits are Guanabana & Granadilla!!!
My favorite music is jazz (Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, & Nat King Cole).
My favorite writers are James Baldwin & August Wilson.
My favorite destinations are: anywhere warm, tropical, and multi-cultural.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm moving from LA to Miami and we're looking to make a mini vacation of our journey. We're first stopping in El Paso, TX and then NOLA on the way to Miami Beach. They're all 12-15 hours apart so our journey will begin on the evening of January 25th, 2017 and run through the morning of January 30th, 2017.
