ABOUT ME

I am a public school teacher and artist. I really enjoy travel a lot and can't wait to visit many locations around the world. I have a background in graphic design and art education. I am originally from the Chicago-land area. One of my favorite cities to visit was Seattle, I really enjoyed the pacific north outdoors and the culture of the city. I really would like to live by the ocean!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is a great way to connect with people in a new town . It is wonderful to learn about the opportunities of visiting somewhere you've never been, not to mention it makes any adventure much more interesting. Couch surfing makes travel not only more fun, but can offer you a nice way of connecting with the community of any place.

Interests

I love music, art, poetry, and creativity in all forms. I like to learn and share innovative ideas. I am really working towards doing more public art murals again.
