I am an artist that loves new experiences and connecting with other people and and cultures -especially through music and dance!! I have had the opportunity to visit 27 countries in my adult life and recently quit my corporate job after 7 years to pursue art and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on a budget and also love cultural exchange so I am excited to start couch surfing. I have been aware of couch surfing for a while but this will be my first time trying it out - so I don't have any reviews yet but have a ton of very positive airbnb guest reviews I can share!
I feel the best way to get to know a new place is by getting tips from people living there and I am couchsurfing to have a more local experience; and hopefully make some new friends along the way.
