CURRENT MISSION

learn everything about the whole world in 1 month.

ABOUT ME

bookmaker, printmaker, general messing-around-with-bits-of-paper-and-fabric kind of girl. I'm studying art but don't plan to be a career artist. I'm rather timid but working on not being so.

PHILOSOPHY

Personal philosophy is to try my best to never cause anyone around me a negative experience... If I look out for others' happiness, maybe they will return the favor!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ideas of family and community are very appealing to me which makes couch surfing (i think) a good fit. I look forward to participating as much as I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My brother couch-surfed through europe, and we hosted a few surfers at our house in Carrboro, NC. I've only heard good things!

Interests

Figuring out how to visually represent things that barely make sense. Thinking about things while a trace lovely pictures of children sleeping. Meeting people, learning their stories, and becoming a part of their world if only for a short time; and laughing and enjoying myself while doing so.

• arts
• books
• socializing
• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to any music as long as someone who is truly passionate about it is playing it for me.

As far as movies go I go for comedies, and any film that can keep my attention for 2 hours simply by being visually stimulating.

I prefer children's books more than any novel. They make me feel simple and not complicated, and i love beautiful old illustrations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to real art school. maybe not amazing to most people but it is opening my eyes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a few sort of half-correct versions of book-binding techniques, i like to make little art books and journals so if anyone was interested in bookmaking i may have a few tips.
