Hello! I am a born-and-bred St. Louisan looking to travel more and meet new people. I work at a small startup here in STL and spend my time peppered around different pockets of the city. I love to eat, cook, bake, and share all that with other people most of all. I do a lot of volunteer work, mainly with cats and with youth, and in my spare time I like to pick up random craft projects and have just begun learning aerial arts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just down to meet new folks. I like the idea of crashing at a new friend's place and forging relationships through travel. I'm unable to host (my apartment just isn't great for it, and my couch is rather uncomfortable), but if you're in STL, I'm so down to show you all the city's hidden gems!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie movies, dumb romantic comedies, musicals, and animated films best. I'm really into power pop, pop, showtunes, rock, indie, country, and some rap -- "I listen to everything" isn't something I say because it's both vague and wrong, but I do have a pretty mixed bag when it comes to my Spotify. As for books, I like drama, fairy tales, 20th- and 21st-century literature, poetry, and children's books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've helped raise my triplet little sisters since they were born nine years ago!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to open champagne with a big ole knife (or a sword, if you have it).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to bring you a little taste of St. Louis with some local coffee, chocolate, or other wares (if I'm able to pack it, I'll bring one of our famous gooey butter cakes). I'd love to take you out for dinner, drinks, breakfast, etc. as a way to show my gratitude as well.
