I’m a nomad and muse who loves nature, meeting great people, and enjoying life to the fullest! I model, dj, am a musician, dance, sing, bartend, volunteer, and run a business. Traveling is my biggest passion second only to music. I have a very communal sense of living and am always happy to help out wherever I go, however I can. I love to hare off on adventures and see where life takes me. While my background is in neuroscience, I am a lifelong learner and love to develop new skills and interests. My favorite past time is traveling with my companion and hear locals regale us with stories over food we’ve all prepared together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only gotten to leave the country once, and I really want to see the world but from local perspectives.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music but am particularly partial to edm, industrial, noize, hip hop, r&b, rock, classical, soul, and jazz. As far as movies are concerned I am a sucker for gritty dramas, comedies, documentaries, and sci-fi. I am a voracious reader and love to sink my teeth into great fiction and biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve built a thriving vape business and gotten countless people off of cigarettes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a classically trained pianist and am currently teaching some local kids in my neighborhood how to play. I help tutor children (and adults) in math and science. I know basic field medicine, CPR, massage therapy, and first aid. I can also mix a mean drink (I’ve won awards for my eggnog). If vaping is your thing, I can make you just about any flavor of e-juice under the sun and it will be the best juice you’ve ever had. I am willing to share any and all of my skills. I have helped a couple of people set up their own businesses and mentored them. Beyond that, I love to learn. I’m currently learning about gardening and trying to improve my cooking skills. I’m also working on my Spanish, but it has a long way to go. However, I’m happy to teach English to anyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, keep house, babysit/pet sit, assist with the elderly (I worked as a caretaker and a CNA for a long time, and I’m CPR certified), work in the yard/field, or help out anywhere else that you have a need for an able bodied person with two hands =] Beyond that I can provide wonderful conversation on a wide array of topics, a listening ear, and a well-mannered houseguest for your hosting pleasure. Additionally, if you’d like a drink or have some crazy shoulder knots or tired feet that need some work, I can help out there.
