About Me

I am visiting my grandparents in Ireland for a week, then will head out on my first solo traveling adventure to the locations listed below. I hope to connect with cool people, explore and share fun times. My interests are music, art and the outdoors. I love going to parties, house shows, concerts and gallery events. Also exploring cities, parks and nature.

I graduated from The New School (New York City) in 2013 with a BA in Arts and focused in Music and Environmental Studies. I currently work as an Events Producer and DJ. Formerly worked in organic agriculture and forestry.

I am flexible, respectful and clean. Not picky with plans or sleeping arrangements. Happy to hang out or do my own thing. Any help is much appreciated!

Paris - 22-24
Amsterdam - 24-27
Berlin - 27-30

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people, share experiences and explore in a way not possible with hotels or standard tourism.

When I lived in New York City my home hosted many couch surfers from all over the world. We had some truly positive experiences, so I'm hoping to find more of the same abroad.

I play in bands which tour the U.S and Canada and also host bands and DIY shows at my house. This incredible network of people supporting each other and their art is where I come from.

On my first ever tour back in 2010, my band at the time used CS to stay with folks in Asheville, NC and New Orleans where we had gracious hosts for a whole week, bless their souls.
