I recently relocated from New York to Nashville to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. I play guitar and piano and sing. Prior to moving I was a public school and private music teacher, but I decided to try a change of scenery and see what pursuing music full time brings me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet new people, and explore the local culture. One of the joys of performing in different towns and cities is that I get to do all of the above on a regular basis.

Interests

I'm a big fan of the arts in general - I love reading, going to museums, watching movies, reading. I love the outdoors (although I'm not a big fan of the cold...), traveling, or just grabbing some coffee and having a good conversation. I'm very open-minded and receptive to new experiences. I keep pretty current on politics and current events.

I exercise (weight-lifting and yoga) regularly, and I volunteer with an organization that distributes food and clothing to those in need about once a week. Lately I've been getting more and more into meditation and mindfulness practice.
