I grew up in the humble, agricultural area of Central California, drawing, playing the piano, being with people and being in nature. I moved to LA for college and loved the pulse of the city. I stayed there for a while and worked with disabled people after I graduated.

I moved to Honduras to teach elementary art. Now I live here! During the summers and breaks I am traveling.

My friends say I give off a quiet, peaceful aura, but I am not shy! I am always up to explore new place and meet new people. I love freedom and beauty. I am easy going and have a vagabonder soul.

Here's some fun facts about me:

I was in a two-man band in LA.

I am a champion swimmer.

I love to be with old people.

I love Jesus.

I think poop is funny.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People are what make a place! I would love to get to know the people I am staying with, and I want to hear the recommendations they have to give about their city. I want to share and exchange art, music and stories with my host. To those of you who are musical- I want to play with you!!!
