ABOUT ME

Currently living in Warsaw Poland as an exchange student for the semester, I am a fine art student at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in Wisconsin (US). Born and raised in a Mississippi town in Iowa. While I am living in Poland, I hope to take full advantage and travel as often as I can!

PHILOSOPHY

In order to know what you truly want, you must experience everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went with some friends to Chicago for a night to see Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and we stayed with someone that one of them knew who hosted a fair number of surfers from time to time. We all stayed up most of the night, talking politics, faith, travels, and on and on. He had a rottweiler that I bonded with, my favorite kind of dog. Five of us piled into the bed... The next day we explored downtown Chicago.

Interests

I enjoy printmaking, adventuring, new places, new people, snowboarding, playing the ten chord I know on guitar, bonfires and underwear bike rides. I am a vegetarian with some vegan tendencies on the side.
