I’m 4th generation from San Francisco and love my city. I had been a Girl Scout growing up so definitely not out of place in the woods either. I love to travel and explore “must-sees” but love to just walk wherever I am until I see no more tourists. I have always known I had to be an artist and have worked as a makeup artist, tattoo apprenticed for a bit and eventually landed in modeling and acting. It’s been 3yrs now doing this full time and I couldn’t be happier with the struggles and successes I’ve reached. I run off feeling and intuition and anyway I can express myself, I take full advantage. I’ve always had social anxiety and still do from time to time, but it was through art that really helped me connect with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan on traveling quit a lot and want to see how locals around the world and in my own country like to live. I hope to make good connections where I can return the favor.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a wide variety of music but I’d say my top are old classics as 40’s and 50’s, 90’s hip hop, reggae, and one I’m not sure what to call honestly. I don’t drive and have turned into a professional passenger aka the best car dj so would just have to show you.
Movies, I’m a big horror fan.
My favorite book is “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck” by Mark Mason and highly recommend it to anyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For my 21st birthday, I crossed off my bucket list: Travel far on your own. I went to Dublin to learn how to drink and with whiskey as my go to, I was not disappointed. During that I made a last minute trip to London and spent the day sight seeing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get my “cup of tea” tattoo but came back with a whiskey shot on my arm. Cheers to more passport stamp tattoos.

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently working on an art series with a solo show coming up in April. I paint using acrylics and find old vinyls for my canvases. I am also learning to play the ukulele, inspired by my great grandfather who played in Hawaii.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking so would gladly make a few meals. If interested, I could teach you a thing or too about the ukulele, do your makeup or show you how to paint. :)

Countries I’ve Visited
