CURRENT MISSION

To take over the world with music and glitter.

ABOUT ME

I'm a singer/songwriter. I love playing music. I love anything creative and art in all forms. I LOVE to hike and run. I'm thinking a marathon is on the horizon, but I've also been saying that for the last 4 years. I love to have fun and to be silly most of all!! I'm a BASI certified pilates instructor. I currently study songwriting in London. It's pretty fucking amazing.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to take everything as it comes my way, and roll with it. I think it's important to focus on your goals and to be productive, but not to take life too seriously. If you're not enjoying yourself while you do it, then you're probably not doing it right. I also believe strongly in the power of positive thinking, and that you can have anything you want in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host at some point, but have never really had the type of living situation where I could accommodate others. So pretty much I'm a surfer through and through!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed all throughout Europe with friends, and through the site. Also hung out with several people I met through the site. Had one of my hosts come stay with me in LA, which was super awesome to get to return the favor!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled through Europe for 3 months in 2010. I will be living in London for the 2012 Olympics and I'm pretty excited about that. Bonnaroo and Coachella are my favorite times of year. Music and mayhem...can't get much better than that. I also performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, when I was younger. And...don't make fun...This last year I went to a Grateful Dead concert on NYE in SF and it was one of the most amazing, fun times I've had not only on NYE, but ever. I have never been anywhere with more love and positivity and people just happy to be living life!!! I used to make fun of dead heads and didn't really know their music very well, but now I totally get it, and absolutely love the dead and the whole culture!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm still learning guitar, so if anyone wants to show me a few things i'd be super into it. I'm a BASI certified pilates instructor, and would be happy to torture you! :)
