Overview
About Me
A recently graduated theatre college student, trying to survive off a tight budget. Trying to live for the experience, not for the money and slowly realizing that the less I have, the more I love. The past year, I've been working in theatres across the country, which requires a lot of packing up my life and moving every few months, sometimes at the drop of a hat. (Hence, why I’m “not accepting guests,” because 9 times out of 10, I’m a guest wherever I end up moving)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Due to a strict schedule and budget, I'm unable to afford even the cheapest of motels. This doesn't pair well with traveling often. I used to wish that a resource like this existed, because for me, all I need is a roof and a few walls and I'm good for the night. Plus, staying with a host who knows the area and is down for some good conversation is so much better than a hotel.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music- Cloud Cult, Radical Face, Sleeping at Last, Woodkid, M83, Sigur Ros, anything with an orchestral-feel with good lyrics really.
Movies- The Lion King. Nothing tops it. Runners up- Cloud Atlas, Into the Wild, Eternal Sunshine..., Amelie, Moonrise Kingdom
Books- Jonathan Livingston Seagull (I read it at least once a week. It keeps things in perspective), The Uglies Series, Harry Potter, One Hundred Years of Solitude, 1984, and countless others.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I love to juggle. One time I juggled fire torches. It was awesome.
Teach, Learn, Share
I always travel with my guitar, and I love teaching it. I also enjoy sharing my love for juggling, and if someone asks me "So, what does a stage manager do exactly?" Or “Why do you move so much?” I can talk for hours.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Music, stories, food.
