Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to all forms of music but i love indie rock music, jazz, accapella, anything on vinyl. I'm open to all forms of music. Some of my favorite artists are Young the Giant, Borns, Vocal Spectrum, Drake and Panic! At the Disco.
My favorite author is Stephen King, I love horror novels the most but mystery and adventure are shortly after. I have way to many books and I cant stop reading. Nothing beats the feel of a book.
My favorite movies are Rear Window, Star Wars, Resident Evil, The Vow and Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs but i watch a lot of different genres.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
So far one of the most amazing things i've done is conquered my fear of performing music in front of people and gaining the confidence in myself to continue doing it. 👌👌
I've also been showcased in a gallery for photography which I am very proud of.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach amazing skills for outdoor adventure and how to play songs on the ukulele easily. I also love doing portrait photography and wouldnt mind showing how I shoot edit and even include new people as models.
I would love to learn of other cultures and new places. How to play new instruments and music styles.
I would love to share my experiences as i would love to hear yours.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer cooking, cleaning, stories and music. I take up a small amount of space and roll with the punches. I come from a small town with a backbone for manners and respect which i hope to extend to anyone willing to host me.
