CURRENT MISSION

Soul-searching through music, art, and travel.

ABOUT ME

I am a musician living and working in the Los Angeles and Orange counties of California. I used to play the French horn, but had to quit when I couldn't afford the instrument. I still miss playing it, but I really love making music via singing. Choral and orchestral music has become my life, and I accept and embrace the nerdy tendencies that ensue. I am passionate about food and cooking, ranging from the sloppiest of sloppy burgers (In-N-Out, anyone?) to the finest of haute cuisine (most often I'm making it, since I can't afford it otherwise). I love horticulture and the sustainable food movement, though I can't always afford to buy organic. Basically, I live my life to the best of my ability and means, and I am very happy to include new people in my life experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Make music always. Make plans, but embrace chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done a bit of surfing, but no hosting yet. I currently live with roommates and most of the furniture is theirs, so I feel kind of weird about inviting people to crash on a couch that I don't own. I travel quite a bit, and I'd love to kill two birds with one stone by saving on lodging while meeting locals.
