CURRENT MISSION

Getting back into couch-hosting and -surfing after a hiatus.

ABOUT ME

I've been living and working in France for over three years as an English teacher. I study the harpsichord in a conservatory and have worked as a musician playing harpsichord, piano and organ. I love reading pieces on harpsichord with other baroque musicians, but am experienced in many other styles of music (including contemporary) and will gladly jam, accompany, sing and dance.

I love good conversation, but I'm very adaptable and self-sufficient if you need your space.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in humans' potential to create. Every relationship, every interaction can be a creative act. I try to ground my creativity with an intention of love, gratitude and celebration.
