ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm in the middle of Nebraska, moved to Chicago for theatre and have expanded from there, traveling as much as I possibly can. I love everything concerning the arts: music, visual, performance, experimental, etc. The music venues, art scenes and history museums are what I'm most attracted to when I find myself in a foreign country--not to mention the conversations you get to have with all of the people one can meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always looking forward to meeting folks from around the world and taking part in a cultural exchange.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big fan of reading and try to get my hands on works by native authors of whatever country I might be visiting. If anyone has suggestions send them my way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fulfilled the childhood obsession of hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn other languages and am grateful to exchange practice. I'm also up for recipe exchange, art exchange, music exchange as well as tips and pointers for travel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

(See above) and tack on to that: conversation, a respectful visitor, an eager dish-washer and a sharer of coffee. :)
