Hello, My name is Tessa and I grew up working on my family's Christmas Tree Farm in a small town in Idaho, USA. Now I live in Bellingham, WA where I am getting my masters in Music Education.

I love to teach! I teach 4-H classes, private piano lessons, art lessons, swim lessons and tutor in a variety subjects.

I have always had a creative mind, and busy myself with art projects and making music.

I greatly enjoy trying new foods, going on spontaneous adventures, meeting new people and learning new skills 🌻🌿🦋🤸🌅

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend and I went on an extensive Europe trip this August and want to experience as much of the culture and community as we can. We thought that the best way to truly immerse ourselves, would be to live with the locals:)
