Grew up in Chicago, Illinois
Going to college in Madison, Wisconsin
Last worked in Austin, Texas

I've been studying business (marketing and management) in college, but recently decided to follow my passion for music and pursue artist management!

Music consumes most of my life whether it's discovering new artists, going to concerts, or managing bands. The rest is filled with travel, photography, and food/beer tastings.

I consider myself to be respectful and welcoming to everyone I meet! I love getting out of my comfort zone and meeting new people with diverse perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently studying abroad at KU Leuven in Belgium for the semester. I want to use this opportunity to see places I've only ever dreamed of and learn from those with a different views of life than my own. Also would like to have an authentic (not touristy) experience in every city I visit and get truly immersed in the culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I spend the majority of my time listening to music. Mostly indie pop/rock but open to everything.

Favorite movie right now is The Terminal (Tom Hanks is my favorite actor).

Favorite TV show is Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (what sparked my dreams of travel).

I have yet to read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, but when I get the time to read it I'd imagine it will become my favorite book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gone to over 50 concerts this year for free!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn as much as possible about other cultures and their customs, as well as sharing a bit of my own.

I've traveled to almost every state in the USA, seen many different walks of life, and acquired some good stories along the way. Would love to swap stories with anyone willing to listen!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking about music and have lot of artist/playlist recommendations no matter what kind of music you're interested in!
