Overview
About Me
Curator, filmmaker and writer. Huge foodie - honestly, great food is my first love. I love conversation about anything - especially when a nice laugh comes out of it. I collect tattoos and postcards from the places I visit, and I love to send corny postcards to remind people that I’m still light hearted. I’ve been traveling for a couple years now mainly through school programs or Worldpackers, but since I’m looking for shorter stays I’ve decided to give couchsurfing a try. An old roommate and I used to host couchsurfers through her account and it was such a groovy experience, so I’m hoping to continue that from the other side! Cheers
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have been traveling for two years through school and Worldpackers, but now I’m looking for shorter stays so I’ve turned to couchsurfing!
Interests
I love writing and photography. I am constantly inspired. I’m hoping to finish writing a book soon based on some pretty wonderful experiences I’ve picked up in my little life. I also love to visit coffee shops - like unique to a place, no innuendo intended, shops that sell a smooth cuppa Joe.

Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn about cuisine from around the world and history. If you’re interested in cooking together I’ve compiled some great recipes from around the globe.
I can teach film and art techniques if you’re interested!
What I Can Share with Hosts
A good laugh with a new friend. I’m sure I have more to offer, too, but I think what is best shared happens without warning.
