I graduated 3 years ago with a degree in clarinet performance. I am currently working as a manager for chick fil a and travel to help train at openings around the country. I am interested in taking up substitute teaching and if I like that, then possibly getting a credential and working towards teaching as a career. I have a cat named Buster and a wonderful boyfriend that I live with. He doesn't mind that I mentioned the cat first. Then again, he doesn't really have a choice. My boyfriend and I love to travel. We have been to Cancun, Napa, Las Vegas, San Fransisco, and have plans to go to many other places. When we first started dating, I left for a month long backpacking trip throughout Europe and fell in love with travelling. I luckily get to do it with my job, but I would love to do more out of the country.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My sister and I went backpacking throughout Europe a few years ago and were on a budget. We used a mixture of couchsurfing and hostels to stay in the various cities such as Copenhagen, Prague, and Dublin. We were gone for a month and it helped us so much! I would use this again the next time I travel and would try to help any other travelers if able.

兴趣

I enjoy playing the clarinet.

Netflix.

Teaching clarinet and other things.

Going to the movies, occasionally by myself. It is quite therapeutic.

I am also pretty active in social justice, particularly for the LGBTQIA community. I went to a Christian university, so I am very aware of the oppressive nature of fundamentalism and the Religious Right, especially against this community. I think all identities should be cherished, even religious identities. I just do not support those who use their religion to oppress others.

I play the handbells. Pretty random, but I played for 3 years, it gave me scholarship money and I actually got pretty good at it!

As for books - The Hunger Games, Sense and Sensibility, Pretty much all of Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson never wrote books, but her poetry speaks to my soul and I am wildly fascinated by her, My favorite book is "Tuesdays with Morrie'" written by Mitch Albom, A Series of Unfortunate Events - I was obsessed with these books before high school and own all 13 of them.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Adopted my cat Buster when he was 8 yrs old. Best thing that ever happened to me. Also, my boyfriend. He might mind that I mentioned the cat first.
**Upon reading the last few sentences, I realize the implication might have been that mentioning my boyfriend would refer to an "amazing thing I have done." And while that may be true, I was referring to him being one of the "best things that ever happened to me." I hope this clears things up!

教，学，和分享

Teach- Clarinet. Flute. My boyfriend can teach the trombone.
Learn- I would love to learn any languages and about different cultures. The most special thing about travelling is the people you meet and learning about the countries they are from.
Share- I would love to share ideals and opinions. Discuss the world and our own views of it. I know the view most of the world has of the USA, and I probably share the same opinion. I would love to restore people's Faith in humanity, as well as have my own restored, considering the joke of a president we have. I can also share tangible things, like food, wine, movies, a lovely couch, some fun board games, and a cat named Buster who loves to cuddle!
