ABOUT ME

I'm just a small town punk living in the big city.
When I was a kid my sisters always wanted to watch cartoons and I always wanted to watch national geographic. I grew up addicted to travel shows and books about far off places. Now I get to see all of the places I read about.

PHILOSOPHY

Every bad situation will look better after a good cup of tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My parents were hippies and my mother knew people from around the world. I grew up with people from Botswana, Thailand, china, Japan, and Kenya coming and going from my life. Thanksgiving was alway fun growing up since my mother wouldn't let anyone be alone on a holiday even if they didn't celebrate it.

I have a long history of bands crashing at my place.
I've couch surfed a fair amount. I was an exchange student in Japan for 2 months bouncing around from place to place.
I've hosted a lot of people from whole bands to down on their luck friends. From one night to a month and a half long stay by one friend who had issues finding an apartment after getting kicked out of her dorm. Heck, the last girl that couch surfed with me never left and was my roommate for a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thanks to time zone changes I have lived the same day twice. It was August 4, 2005.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything in the entertainment industry you want to know how to do from booking shows to publishing a book.
I work a lot with helping people build internet followers. If you want to be YouTube famous or find more fans on facebook and improve your user interface, I'm your girl.

I am learning how to do hair and make up for photo shoots, mostly pin up type stuff.
I am a classically trained visual artist and I love sharing that with people. If you can dream it, I can find a way to build it.

I always want to learn more languages.
