CURRENT MISSION

to do a new thing everyday

ABOUT ME

My husband Dave and I have just moved to Berlin to pursue our music careers. I'm an opera singer and he's a pianist. We met studying music in Manchester, UK but I'm American and he's Scottish. I love all kinds of music and theatre. I also love traveling, languages and meeting new people! I moved over to England from the US last year to study a masters in singing, so music is very much my life. But a close second is trying new things - whether that be a new language, a new place, new friends or even a new outfit. I never say no to a nice glass of wine, especially if it's paired with a Monty Python movie. In undergrad, I studied foreign affairs, so I have a passion for politics, although lately I've gotten a bit fed up! I also love organizing things, especially arts concerts.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that everyone deserves a chance to be heard out, and everyone is interesting in their own way. Different types of people make life more fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are in and out of Berlin and happy to host if we're around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled to Bordeaux and couchsurfed with some wonderful people who made me dinner and took me on a road trip to the dunes. It was fantastic!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in Lima, and then went to visit Cusco. It was an incredibly beautiful place. The other most amazing place I've been was Yosemite national park in California - just being alone and hiking was fantastic.
