I play piano, accordion, guitar, ukulele, and the melodica. I was also named after Muddy Waters, the American blues guitar legend.

I really love wine and stomach-ache inducing amounts of pasta – also love circus arts, swimming, manual labor, reading, cats, and playing chess.

I've lived in Boston, Richmond, and Portland in the USA. I work as a writer and editor for Good News Network from home and I wanna be your friend!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna meet new people! Go on adventures! Get into shenanigans!
