About Me

CURRENT MISSION

When you see something that looks interesting, stop and check it out!

ABOUT ME

Just moved to Nashville: Music City!

I am 23 years old and graduated last year from the University of Central Florida in Orlando.

One of my biggest passions is songwriting...

I love my vinyl collection. I love lighting sparklers. I love photography. I love Jesus.

PHILOSOPHY

I live solely for this guy called Jesus Christ who died in love for the very people spitting in His face.

Because I don't have to live for myself anymore, I can be free to genuinely love others...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm very new to the site but I'm looking to participate by connecting with other travelers through cultural exchange, couchsurfing, and engaging conversations.

I've playing my music on people's couches and have enjoyed contributing music to the CS community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had a few offical Couchsurfing experiences, but each one has been a huge help, as well as a great opportunity to meet new people!

I've found that one of the best ways to share culture in a personal and meaningful way is through food. Cooking it, eating it, discussing it, whatever!

For me, even the rough parts of a journey are a vital aspect of the experience... When you're dead tired in a place you've never been, you tend to discover things about yourself that you never would have otherwise.

Interests

Writing music. Sharing and discussing music. 35mm Photography. Scriptwriting and Film. Snowboarding. Swingdancing. Wine tasting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the Fourth of July from an airplane.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my favourite things to do is to talk about music, film, dance, or just about any artistic form of culture. I love informing others of my cultural background as well as hearing and learning about theirs.

I love teaching people to swingdance! I think it is such an expressive art form, combining great music with rich aspects of American culture.

I love learning new types of dances. I'm especially interested in Tango, Waltz, and Techtonik.
