Hey there! I am a Californian girl currently living in Albania. I have been here for over a year and a half now so I know Tirana like the back of my hand. I love backpacking, but I have only done so in Europe so far. My favourite thing to do while traveling is integrating myself into the culture as much as possible. I am very empathetic and love learning about new cultures any way that I can!
I graduated with a Bachelor's in both Studio Art and Art History, so I love to connect my own art to my love of art and architecture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to connect with like-minded people living in Tirana (or of course visiting!), so I can either show the great things Albania has to offer, or to hear the stories of others :)

***I am looking for someone to help me learn Albanian! I am struggling to learn the language although I have been here so long! Please message if you can help out in any way.

Interests

I paint, sculpt, draw, and I'm learning graphic design/web design. I love walking around and exploring new places. My favorite thing to do is get lost somewhere!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently was on a motorcycle for the first time in my life, and the drive was 5 hours long! But it was worth it, as we went to see some of the beautiful lakes near Rome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn happiness from others. I am definitely happy in my life but I want to find something that fulfills me and makes me excited to wake up each and everyday. Traveling does this for me, and I wish to share my experiences with others!
