About Me

I am a dabbler of many things. Photography, dancing and drumming are some of my hobbies. My goal this year is to meet new people both in the city in which I live, and everywhere I travel. I’m really into music and will be traveling with a wonderful friend to Netherlands for the Roadburn Festival in April. We are hoping to strike up new connections and friendships with people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I toured with my band it was amazing, but we spent most of our time in a van traveling to the next show. There was not much time to explore before getting back on the road. I am returning to Europe so that I can take more time to visit and I’d like to experience the day to day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My lifelong goal since I age 19, was to tour Europe with my band. In 2019, we were invited to Belgium to play the wonderful DunkFest. You can view the aftermovie for the festival if you are curious. There is a clip of me drumming and also hugging a bandmate backstage after we finished our performance 🥰

We built a whole tour around this, with stops in London, Germany, France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. It truly was a dream come true!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in what you are passionate about and love opportunities to try new things. I recently met a professional graffiti artists and asked to go along with him on a painting adventure. I had never done this before and he was very excited to teach me. I had the best time and am looking for more experiences like this!

As for sharing, I am a very good listener and can participate in deep conversations with you.

I am also a musician and have played in bands that have recorded albums so I can link you to those if you are curious to listen.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, United Kingdom
