Greetings! My name is Edy. I am a singer and songwriter. I also teach yoga. This is how I make my living. I was raised in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, then moved to Pittsburgh for college. After college I moved to Sydney, Australia for three years and then to the DC area.

After working in the corporate world after college I realized that it wasn't for me. I did all the right things after college - got a great job, got a car, even bought a condo, but I found that I was happiest when I was being creative. This led me to begin pursuing singing as a career. The transition from accountant to singer has been an interesting journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in love with traveling and am joining Couchsurfing to meet new people on the road. In September and October 2016 I traveled across the US in an RV on my first tour. I love music, animals, yoga, eating vegan food, meeting new people, dancing, and creating jewelry.
