Just a 23 year old 'professional' karaoke singer ready for bookings in Cologne, Germany.

I left America on a whim to explore more of the world, and whilst traveling/living in the UK's hidden gem, Bradford, I landed an amazing opportunity hard to pass up. I scored a job in Cologne, Germany as an Au Pair, cancelled my flight back to America, and moved the small amount of things I brought across the pond to Deutschland! I finished working as an Au Pair, and now I am writing English texts for my host family's travel start up company - I'm living in the middle of Germany doing the thing I love most!? Don't know how that happened but I'm in love with the experience I'm living. I am always up for meeting new peeps of the world, and showing you around my new home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting the wonderful people of the world around me- whether it be hosting or exploring another city!

But oi vey, my music taste could be a dissertation - I could go on for hours getting into every artist I respect and the memory I have associated with them. It is my dream to end up in the music industry, so you could imagine why I am refraining from writing too much here (you would be reading a novel). My hero in music would definitely be Grimes. Ask me about her when we meet, and I could seriously talk your ear off on my passion for the concept of her art and who she is as a person. I love talking about music with people, learning more about their music taste, and sharing stories about music in our lives. I am all ears when it comes to music, and cannot wait to meet more people to find all of the hidden gems in the world. Check out my Spotify playlist below for the music I've been listening to recently:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

(as stated above) Left America for the first time in my 22 years of existence, lived in the UK with all of my best friends, landed a job in Cologne, and haven't been back to America in eight months (also not planning on going back anytime soon).

I also went to a music festival on my own in Amsterdam called Pitch, having no idea who to hang with or what to expect. I ended up making a few friends, danced in the rain, saw my hero live (Grimes), and rode on the back of a bike up and down the canals of Amsterdam slightly tipsy with new friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you dope dance moves, lessons on new music right now, and how to say a couple words in Tagalog (I am a 2nd generation Filipino-American ). I also make a meeeeeean lasagna (my friends called me Garfield because I would come home after having a terrible Monday and make lasagna for loads of my friends) that I would be more than happy to make for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, silly times, zero dull moments, and a guaranteed fun time (sounds cheesy, but very true because I get antsy when I'm bored) !!

Come to Cologne and I will frolick with you along the Rhein, ride bikes throughout the city/also protect us from gnarly bikers, cook fabulous food (or go out to grab a Döner if that is also what you're into), and drink beers (Kölsch) in a park.
