I am an artist, musician, and puppeteer. I grew up in sunny south Florida , and attended university in chilly Baltimore, Maryland. I love to sing, write music, dance like an old lady, learn from people, and go to new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just graduated from university, and I'm embarking on a multiple-month trip through Europe. One of the things I'm most excited about is meeting locals in the places I am visiting- to talk and learn about how they live their lives, and to share my experiences with them.
When I come back to the United States, I'll be more than happy to host fellow Couchsurfers, wherever it is I end up. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I gave the closing speech at my university graduation for 1,000 people at a symphony hall. But instead of speaking it, I created an original song on guitar and sang it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach bookbinding, fabric dyeing, weaving, embroidery, and other textile-y skills.

I'd love to learn local traditions (and French, help!)

I can share my music, and lots of laughs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll share some pretty hilarious stories, a meal, smiles, and I might even draw you something!
I love to chat (but I know when to shut up :).
