CURRENT MISSION

Create. Explore. Learn.

ABOUT ME
I am a former elementary art teacher. I am currently studying Graphic Design at SCAD in Savannah, GA. I will be interning at Hallmark this summer in Kansas City- I super excited about exploring the city. I am long overdue for an adventure!

In 2014 I spent a year living and teaching English in South Korea. After that I backpacked solo through SE Asia. I want to see the world and meet as many beautiful souls along the way as I can. I'm laid back, enjoy traveling (obviously!), appreciate art, music, culture, food, good conversation, contagious laughter, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a life-long learner. I crave adventure and hate feeling stagnant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host someday...
Once I settle down in a spot long enough to have a place of my own, my couch is yours!

Interests

Traveling, kayaking, sewing/quilting, craft beers, art museum gift shops, books- making them and reading them, ukulele, calligraphy, foods, taking and sharing photos...not in that order.
Art of any kind whether it's visual, music, or performance. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to make a quilt haha, or how to sew.
I am an art teacher- so we can discuss contemporary works of art at the local museum if you're into that.
I can teach you the 4 chords that I know on ukulele and the 100s of songs you can play from there.

I love learning. All the things.
cooking, crafts, skills, general knowledge, history. Anything you can offer.

Always remain open minded and don't over generalize...
