CURRENT MISSION

traveling and learning new things!

ABOUT ME

I'm Allison.. I'm finishing up my studies at Massachusetts College of Art. I'm studying fibers and do mostly large scale crochet installations. I am excited to be finishing school and am hoping to embark on a several month journey of work exchange and couch surfing within the year. I work mostly in art teaching jobs as well as in the special ed field-- ideally I'd like to find something where they overlap. I want to learn farming and gardening (specifically alpaca farming), I want to improve my baking and cooking skills, and just learn anything that I can! I have traveled around central america, and have a wonderful host family in Guatemala who I have gone back to visit a few times.
