About Me

ABOUT ME

Traveled to Australia for 3 weeks right before the pandemic and stayed! Spent a few years living on Great Keppel Island before heading down to Brisbane.

From Washington, DC originally, I am relaxed, open-minded and enjoy a good conversation. I spent a year or two doing workaways, so I'm always happy to contribute whether it be cleaning or other tasks.

I love most nature oriented activities and having a nice cold beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing provides a more interesting experience. I enjoy meeting people and I think couch surfing and volunteering provides a better insight into local communities and culture.

I once was a World Cultures teacher in China and just really enjoy experiencing cultures all around the world.

Interests

I enjoy going to concerts, hiking, going to (and working) music festivals, playing hand percussion, good conversations and cooking a great meal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about new cultures and sharing what I've learned. Spent 10 years in the music industry and happy to share any pointers. I'm also always keen to play percussion with guitarists!

Happy to contribute to house duties, help in the garden, cook a meal and more.
