Raised in the wide fields of northern California, I've always been drawn to far away places, different cultures, high mountains, new experiences, and open seas. I am dance artist (I perform, create and teach dance) and so after university I set out to live and dance in different places. After some travels, I fell in love with the Olympic Mountains and Seattle where I lived and danced for almost 6 years. But adventure called again. Now I'm dancing and living in Berlin and exploring as much of Europe as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a creative and a curious person, I love traveling and meeting new people. But I never want to be a tourist; I like to experience the daily life and reality of a place I visit. I think couchsurfing is a great place where adventure meets hospitality.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have so many (too many) books, movies and music I enjoy... And I love to find out what other people are loving to listen to and what books they are eating up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked in the foothills outside Reykjavik to find a thermal heated stream bed where we made our own personal hot tubs: outdoor saunas with the hot river and rocks there!

What I Can Share with Hosts

how to make awesome pancakes, good coffee, best places in Seattle, California, and Berlin. I'm generally a good cook and I am also pretty good at making real cookies. I also love swapping the current life hacks, bands i'm listening to or other good ideas.
