About Me

Professional Cellist, singer, and all around nice gal living in Los Angeles. Grew up in the midwest, lived in Central America, lived and studied in South America, worked and lived in Japan. I decided to take a break from Los Angeles rent, took 5 months off and became a professional house sitter. I stayed in mansions in the Pacific Palisades, bungalows in Santa Monica, and studios and apartments all over the LA area. It was pretty great!

I love exploring and I love adventures. If I haven't come up with my own, I'm usually the one to agree to your crazy idea and cheerlead for you! I like to wake-up early and get the day started. I have a hard time lounging around all day, ESPECIALLY when I'm in a new place. Expect me to have a plan and to also scrap my plans if something else awesome comes up!

PHILOSOPHY
enjoy as much as you can without getting seriously injured.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been a while since I've been on here, but I used to couch surf a lot... but then jorb stuff happened and I had to abandon it for a little bit. I'm off to Spain/Portugal in September so I'll be looking to surf then!
I am super super respectful to other peoples property. I like to leave places cleaner than I left them, do my own laundry and dishes. I don't like late night parties/will probably be in bed at a decent time unless it's a special occasion/it was worked out with you ahead of time to come home late. I've had a lot of wonderful experiences with couch surfing experience!
