Hi!

My name's Rachel and I love traveling, adventure, music, nature and art. Traveling and going to concerts are my favorite things to do. I love meeting new people especially from all over the world. It's cool to learn about other people's perspectives, share stories and laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is something so exciting about meeting people from other countries and connecting with them. I'm hoping to make new friends, go on adventures and be able to have a couch to stay on when I take my own adventure overseas.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Strokes are my favorite band ever. I also love The Flaming Lips, The Growlers, Flume, Devandra Barnhart, Grimes, King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard and so much more.

I fall asleep through every movie but one that stuck with me is Persona -- a swedish film from the sixties - really awesome. I also like Snatch, Momento and Almost Famous.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I danced on stage with The Flaming Lips in a panda suit in front of 20,000 people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help show travelers concerts that are happening in town -- I run a local music blog: www.listensd.com, also I'd love to practice my Spanish more!
