I'm a musician, writer, and outdoors lover born and raised in Colorado, USA. My partner and I are currently traveling Europe to visit universities we plan to apply to next year. Along the way, we are playing music and connecting with people, because that’s what life is! I love to travel and to write about my experiences with local cultures—the more outside of my comfort zone, the better. I’m always happy to share my music, my stories, and my culture if folks are interested!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The core of any travel experience is meeting the locals. I’m not looking for the resort vacation, the hotel stay, or even the hostel scene. I want to meet folks who soak up the community and can share intimate knowledge of the streets and mountains I visit. Couchsurfing isn’t just finding a place to stay, it’s defining the travel experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve recorded and produced 4 albums with various bands

Teach, Learn, Share

In gathering material for my writing, I want to hear as many stories as possible. Tell me about your childhood, your favorite songs, your travel experiences, and your hopes and dreams. I’d love to learn new songs and play with other musicians! In return, I can share as much music as you’d like, as well as stories from the many worlds I’ve visited.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a musician, I am always happy to play for or with anyone I'm staying with. I love to jam, so if you play an instrument, we'll definitely get along. I'm very outgoing and love to share stories from my life and hear about yours. My partner and I are great cooks and would love to make a meal for you! I'm also a meticulously clean house guest, so expect the dishes in your sink to get done.
