Overview
About Me
Hi! It's pronounced Shy-la. Just one of many 20-somethings looking to see the world on a budget, with an emphasis on bonding with strangers. I enjoy live music, hiking, art, and great conversation. Hoping to connect with unique world views, fun local knowledge, and a mutual desire to become emotionally intimate strangers.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The world is a much bigger place than the space I occupy, and I'm looking to explore it in an affordable, meaningful way. My top priority for couchsurfing is to have a uniquely awesome connection with strangers, if only for a day or two.
Interests
I write and perform original songs and would love to jam/collaborate with anyone else who does!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went to a concert of a band I didn't know of beforehand, drove around my city with the lead singer and backup singer live-harmonizing over their CD in my car, came back home, stayed up until sunrise talking to the bassist about music and life and choice while the tour manager and manager crashed on my couches.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: poetry, writing, music, philosophy, public health concepts, how to maintain a professional v personal social profile, anything else you happen to perceive me being good at that you want to learn
Learn: Spanish, your favorite childhood memory, anything you wish to teach. Would love to learn new dance moves!
Share: experiences, adventures, food, moments
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share a vividly human experience, offering up someone who's seeking to really connect with individuals, even if only for a short while. I can cook, and I'm amazing at organizing. I can also make art, depending on the request. Beyond that, I'm open to requests, as I'm sure I'll never be able to really express my capabilities without more direction.
Countries I’ve Visited
Canada, England, France, Mauritius
