I am a happy, easygoing person who is excited about travel and meeting new people! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, this is the perfect way to both save money on travel and make my experience more memorable and authentic.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interests are diverse: I love bands like Imagine Dragons as much as I love Dvorak's music. As for movies, a few of my favorites are Good Will Hunting, Legally Blonde, and The Space Between Us. Books I love include the Harry Potter Series, Paper Towns, and the 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared (and yes, that's actually what it's called).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran the LA Marathon this year!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have plenty of stories to share, both mine and those of my family from around the world. If you want to learn anything about music, I'd be more than happy to teach you (playing, composing, etc.), and I would love help learning any language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If there is a violin in the house I can play something for you! But since I doubt that'll be the case, I make a pretty mean omelette and love baking cookies.
