About Me

Hi all, I recently transferred to London to explore Europe after living in Seattle for 5 years.

I am fairly active - I swim 40 laps a few times a week and run ~7 miles a few times a week. I am always looking for new exercise buddies (if 7:45/mile isn't too fast/slow for you XD).

I am also a musician. I have been playing the drum kit for about 15 years now, and I love me a good funk jam. I mostly listen to hip-hop, soul, anything with a danceable beat really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to network with fellow travelers. I have couchsurfed as part of a group before and it seems like a great way to meet people with unique interests and a passion for life! I want to hear your stories - where you are going, where you came from, why you exist, what makes you excited. I am especially interested in meeting musicians and artists.

Also London is an expensive place and a lot of these living room floors are wasted most of the time, so I'd like to donate mine :P
