CURRENT MISSION

Make adventurous art

ABOUT ME

My life is filled by expanding myself into new and challenging situations. I am very fortunate to have traveled a lot already and look forward to much more. This year I am headed to South Korea on an Artistic Residency with other international artists. I am a performance artist focused on movement, theater, and contemporary dance. I grew up in the US, rode my bicycle across Europe, rode my bicycle across the USA. Also was an exchange student in Argentina during high school, which was one of the best experiences ever. One of the things I love about traveling is getting to adapt to unexpected situations and having to be constantly changing my own expectations.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling and cultural exchange. I am also happy to host people. Would love to meet you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just joined CS :) However, I have done a lot of traveling that included staying with hosts, as well as hosting other travelers. Some of the best times come when you're sitting around an unfamiliar kitchen table and trying to communicate deep ideas and end up just laughing.
