About Me

I am a musician, writer, and yoga teacher who just got her degree (hell ya!) in vocal performance. I currently teach yoga and serve at a pizza place. I am working toward completing my RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) 200 certification. I love to write music and poetry and experience nature in as many ways as possible (hiking, climbing, kayaking, swimming, etc.)

My partner in crime Brian just graduated with a Public Health and Environmental Health degree from UAB. He is 24 and currently guides zip tours and helps run the kid's summer camp program at Red Mountain Park in Birmingham. We love to rock climb and do yoga together as well. We're not looking for "real jobs" yet because we are taking time off to travel to cities and National Parks that we've never seen before. We love to travel to see new places, eat new foods, meet new people and share in experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just graduated from college and I am going on a month long road trip across the U.S. to celebrate! My boyfriend Brian and I will be visiting places we've never been before, we have some friends who've moved out west but a lot of the cities we're traveling to we have no contacts, so we'll need to make some new friends! We live with my parents at the moment so unfortunately we can't participate as hosts right now, but in the future when we have our own place we will definitely host!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed with the University of Montevallo choir in 7 cathedrals in the Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary in a week!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some yoga!
I'd like to learn how to salsa!
I will share music, stories, and the only joke I can ever remember how to tell :)

Brian can teach you a sweet take down if you're interested in wrestling/self defense, and we would happily cook a meal to share with our hosts!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook for people! I'd be happy to share a home cooked meal, or home cooked dessert with my hosts. I can offer a living room yoga session if you're feeling stressed or sore, and I'd also be glad to share some music with you. My guitar is also a travel buddy!
