Update January 2023: I have been living in Providence, RI to help my parents who both have long term illness. I am opening my own pole dance studio this Spring 2023 in Providence/Boston area.

As of June 2019, I still have not used Couchsurfing and I would like that to change. I am originally from Rhode Island but, I now live in Austin, Texas via NYC and Cleveland, OH. I completed one year of law school in Cleveland and discovered that it wasn’t for me. The very next day I started taking Pole fitness classes. After a year and a half, I decided to make it more than a hobby. I love to travel and have been to many places all over the world. (not too many compared to other couch surfers!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling to Portugal on February 12th, 2023. I will be going first to Faro and then to Lisbon to visit family. I will probably stay a few days with them in their homes but, I know that I will need my own space.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Heal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook and of course I would clean up after myself. I can teach Pole dancing and floor work, yoga, strength training and flexibility. I can offer a place to stay in Providence starting in summer 2023. I can provide a lot of information about the dance, music and food scenes in Austin.
