About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Develop myself and travel!

ABOUT ME

I'm a singer/composer/cellist/fitness coach who loves to talk to people and get to know them. I'll be the first to say that I'm kinda quiet around new groups of people and I don't handle a lot of people all at once very well. Get me in a group of maybe two or three people and I'll be happy, though.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a jerk to other people. Life is short enough without the jerks. Treat other people the way that you wish you were treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

What am I participating in? If its a party or something like that, I participate by listening to the people who are talking and waiting for an appropriate time to share my experience, if at all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just trying out some CouchSurfing. We'll see how this goes! I'm very new on here and I'm eager to try it out. I've never gotten to couch surf with anyone, so I'm kinda nervous about jumping into this business.

Interests

MUSIC. Music is my life. I sing, play, compose and arrange. Love me some jazz. Ella Fitzgerald is my queen.

Also, as I stated above, I'm a health and fitness coach. I'm not licensed for it yet (i.e. I'm not a personal trainer), but I know how to work a diet, how to stick with an exercise program, how to get the type of support you need. That's something I'm really interested in. Help people get healthy and get paid to do it? Heck yes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked backcountry for over 200 miles. You learn how to tolerate just about anyone when they smell so bad that you can tell where they are from 20 feet away. xD

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to teach voice lessons, a bit of French diction. I can also make a pretty decent lasagna provided you aren't afraid of spicy food. I like for my food to have a bit of kick (I'm from the Southwest).
