Iโm an actor and musician, a past European traveler, a present US nomad. I spend my months in different places (mostly along the east coast, apparently) depending on where my next acting contract takes me. Iโm from Kentucky and got a dual degree in political science and psychology from UK, and then I graduated and immediately went head first into acting. Iโm also a singer-songwriter who writes and plays my own songs at open mics and such events. Iโve made three albums on Spotify and bandcamp and such but itโs really not as fancy as it sounds. Theatre and music are my whole life, luckily enough. Iโve spent a considerable amount of time in North Carolina, Florida, and NY/NJ.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To meet new people from the places I'm in and getting to know other people's lives and favorite adventures!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Sara Bareilles, Hozier, Adele, George Ezra, pop and singer-songwriter genre TV Shows: The X Files, Gilmore Girls, Law and Order SVU, The Good Place, Peaky Blinders. I like crime dramas and the feel-good shows. Books: Life-improvement and personal growth books. I love reading about happiness.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I did a solo backpacking trip around Europe, 12 countries in 26 days, and it was the most exhausting and beautiful experience of my life. I was only 20 and so new to the world, but I took in as much as my young brain could fathom and I came out the other side with gratitude. I slept in airports, dodged transit police, played the piano with strangers in train stations, carried bread and cheese around town for lunch (on several occasions), cried at the Van Gogh museum. The usual.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share great stories of my travels and the music that I listen to and write. I would love to learn about the city from the perspective of a local and see what they love about where they live. And in turn, I can show you my own city and my own life.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can tell you all about my journey as an actor, or about my time abroad. I can play five instruments or share anything about my music. I can also cook a killer Mac and cheese.
My Interests
Writing and performing music, theatre, and traveling. I like hiking and doing yoga, museums, classical music, impressionist art, finding the best cheese-food a place can offer
