I grew up in Boulder, Colorado, Went to school in Norman, Oklahoma and now am living in beautiful San Diego, California. My mission in life is to use Theatrical Arts and music to heal the spirit, strengthen individuality and imaginative, unhindered self-expression. I am very excited to continue to see how art and music is ingrained into different cultures around the world.

I LOVE meeting new people and am very passionate about traveling. I love climbing things... like trees and rocks, which has recently manifest itself into many hours spent bouldering and rock climbing. I ski and slack-line and play ultimate frisbee. I am passionate about working with people with disabilities and just finding absolute fullness in all parts of my life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because meeting and connecting with new people is one of the coolest things about being human. I also want to experience new places through a locals lends.

Interests

I love music, theatre and arts of all varieties and styles. I love what music means to people, I love what it does for people spiritually, emotionally and physically. But because Music and Theatre are both my passion and my profession, I find balance through exploration in other avenues. I am always learning, and wanting to learn more. I commonly wander around in nature or try to draw/write music. I am constantly seeking new avenues to explore. We are never done learning!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am way into the folk and bluegrass scene. Yonder Mountain string band, head and the heart, I LOVE King Charles. but nothing surpasses the Beatles in my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to see the northern lights one summer up in Alaska. It was one of the most surreal things, just a humbling reminder of how powerful mother nature is.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is my greatest honor to be a teacher. I find great value in what we can teach and share with each other when we share our passions with the world. I love learning about what makes people happy. I love learning what connects and unites us. I believe that music is the unifying language of all living beings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I just love what beauty is made when strangers come together to create global community. To laugh, share stories and sorrows, lessons and passions. I continuously strive to expand my community of fellow travelers, explorers, wanderers, and people who are activist of joy.
