Heya, surfers!!

My name is Rachel and I'm fueled by coffee, live music, and extreme organization.
I love to travel, write, design, and shoot photographs of concert, people I meet, and the places I go. My real passion is booking shows, and I used to work at First Avenue (you've seen Purple Rain, right?!) back in Minneapolis.

I recently decided to move across the country to a city not knowing anyone, and so far it's been an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved to the Bay Area and while I seek full-time employment, I'm sort of just bopping around from one place to the next. I work at a local cafe doing "latte art" but most of my creations look like a fist. (I'm new, okay)
