About Me

Hi! So from what it seems, I have to write a little bit about me in order to meet the "complete profile" requirements. Who I am, is a bit hard to define though since I'm constantly changing through all of the amazing experiences and encounters I have with people throughout my life. I grew up in a small suburban area, so I never really had the chance to interact with many people. But as time went on, I gradually learned to open up to others and undertake certain "leaps of faith" to discover more of my true identity.

For example, like my name suggests, I am very musical and love to listen to and play all types of instruments. That eventually led led to me joining orchestra, chorus and even band where I befriended so many musicians who have helped me grow as a musician.

I have also been a competitive swimmer and tennis player ever since a young age, that taught me not only how to work hard together as a team, but also as an individual. Over this past summer, I even joined drum corps for the first time and played the synthesizer in an amazing corps called Fusion Core - a corps of people whom I am proud to call my "purple family."

But I'm also the type of individual who likes to talk about life with Uber drivers and write blog posts in my spare time, when I'm not cramming for a final exam the night before. So, feel free to contact me as I am always open to new people and new ideas!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to be able to meet new people and gain new perspectives as I travel the world. Living in a small town my whole life, I literally cannot wait until I can head out and explore on my own. I am always very friendly with everyone I meet and always open to new ideas and beliefs, as I think that that is the best way to learn anything.

I will also say this. In Fusion core, we always sang what we call our "corps song" based off of the song named "For Good" from the Broadway show "Wicked." And in that song, we say "some people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those who help us most to grow." I only hope Couchsurfing can help me meet those people.
