About Me

Hiya! I'm born and raised in Louisiana, USA and lived in Austin, Texas for 5 years. I currently am living in Mallorca, Spain while teaching English.
My element is water- love splashing and swimming and the wildlife.
I'm a yogi and have a passion for our mama planet and trying to keep her healthy.
Also super into music (it makes me happpyyy), as well as comedy, true crime, and indie flickaroos.

I love exploring the little corners of the earth and seeing places as the locals see them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and see how locals live in every place I visit! I love getting to know people and their culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and that list could go on for days, but my favorites are: Pink Floyd, Sigur Ros, Spoon, Modest Mouse, Brand New, Talking Heads (or anything David Byrne), Bowie, Prince, and then American folk- Shakey Graves, Alabama Shakes, and so on...

I worked at a Drafthouse Cinema in Austin which expanded my appreciation of film, but I love a good indie film, comedy, or crime film yet can also be highly entertained by more mainstream films (love Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

Books- The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Currently reading The Power of Now and getting a lot from it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I like to help people. I've hosted fundraising events for the Baton Rouge Flood in 2016 and also for a family of one of my dearest friends that killed himself recently. Life is hard sometimes, so I try to make things easier on people in those incredibly difficult times.

On the lighter note- I've laughed until crying at just a sound (on multiple occasions)...
