CURRENT MISSION

To meet cool people, make a little music, and get to know the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm sweet and a little off-beat. I don't eat meat except fish. I have lived on both ends of California, in Arizona, in Bangkok, and am now back in my hometown. I am passionate about a few things, which off the top of my head include music (classical is my specialty), travel, social justice, education, reading, and vegetables.

PHILOSOPHY

DFTBA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, sometimes I surf. It's wonderful to hear the stories of the people I meet through this site!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted many people, mostly in 2010-2011. The people that I met were really awesome and I learned a lot from them. I've surfed as well, and my hosts have gotten me out of some tight spots, so I'm very thankful for this site and the wonderful people on it!

Interests

Classical music, playing and performing. Social justice and social change. Hiking and have been trying to get into backpacking. Reading, my favorite two books right now are The Alchemist and Prodigal Summer. Oh, and I really like insects! I have a bearded dragon back in California, who is wonderful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving abroad-- it's like nothing else!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play music, and can teach it to you, share it with you, play with you (I do jam)... I live for that kind of musical connection. I have a few fun stories. And I love to cook healthy vegetarian foods (I'm pescetarian, though I prefer to eat fish only occasionally).
