CURRENT MISSION

To travel and conquer every road I see, meet new people, see and experience new things.

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious person who enjoys exploring different places, meeting different people, to gain a different perspective of the world and life. I love food and cooking, theatre, singing, dancing, and tons more. I have a profound love to make music with people, I love to jam with them and sporadically record conversations/ jam sessions I have!

PHILOSOPHY
Never Hold Back
Try everything once
Be Open Minded
You show me love I show it back!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job, sold all of my things, moved out of my apartment and moved to Holland to study art for 4 months, first time abroad and first time in Europe! Did the same thing 6 months later and moved to Chica
Go!

Performed in front of 1500 people combining Shakespeare and Jazz together!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a few dance moves, cool vocal riffs, how to make very unhealthy but tasty Southern food!

I learn from people who have inspiring stories, who've met many people or enjoy meeting new people and encounter new experiences. I learn from everyone who is different from me and what I know.

I share laughter, stories, music,and always good times!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a good conversation and if it's over beer/wine expect a long conversation infused with bouts of laughter in between. I can offer music as I carry it with me wherever I go. I can offer a home cooked meal, my stories, my experiences and most importantly my friendship and a place in my home wherever I am.
