Travel obsessed. Artsy. DJ. Musician. Writer. I love a night staying in and having a good conversation...also love going out and dancing and getting drinks with friends (and still having great conversations).

I live in Pittsburgh + work in international education by day and am a DJ/event organizer by night. Fun stuff. I'm also an immigration advocate + activist.

I love making connections and friendships around the world and discovering cultures + subcultures outside the standard tourist destinations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Perfect way to meet people while traveling + nice way to meet visitors (looove showing people around my city, Pittsburgh...it's the best).

Even if we can't meet up, you should still send me some good music recommendations from your home country. :)

Interests

Big fan of turbulence on planes (I like getting rocked to sleep).
