I'm a 26 year old American opera singer who has been living in Hamburg for 3 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always wanted to join because I love hosting people at my home and showing them Hamburg. Now that I've finished my masters, I want to start traveling more myself.

Interests

I like cycling, seeing the city with locals, making friends, and dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of music from Dead Can Dance to Beyoncé.

David Lynch, Guy Madden, 80s/90s Teen Movies

I am a pretty open minded reader. Lately, I go to the library and pick a book off the English language shelf to read. There have been good ones. There have also been very bad ones. Kundera and Garcia Marquez will never get old for me. I can always re-read them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sing opera and I feel really happy to know I still consider that amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about music, film, and books that have touched other people, and I love sharing my own experiences as well. I know we all have a song or a book or a movie that inevitably makes us remember something beautiful we've experienced and I think this is an amazing part of being human. I also really love educating people about opera. A lot of folks consider it archaic and have never been to an opera and I'd like to change that because I think that it can be an incredible experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an excellent cook, I have a very wide taste in a lot of music and film, and we can practice English or have a voice lesson if you want. :)
