ABOUT ME

Hi hello! I'm an artist, dancer, actor, and an aspiring mountain goat. I'm easy going and clown around when I can, and am quite down to earth. I am an artist, craftsperson, and dancer, currently focused in Butoh. I love exploring parks and hiking, but often down to have a wild night out whether its in town or around a fire. I have lived in several places around the United States and in Tuscany at conservatory, in Barcelona on a workaway, in Prague for love, and in Mexico City for school. I adore listening to stories and visiting large bodies of water. I am pretty independent and okay at getting around on my own, but I'm not at all opposed to hanging out and swapping stories if you want to!

I am planning a trip with my friend Arianna to travel around Ireland and then bop through Paris, Bordeaux, and onward to Lisboa. Arianna is a film artist and a funny, enchanting human. We would love to stay with locals and make some fun new friends!

I'm not currently verified on couchsurfing for its too much money, if you need extra information from me, just inquire!

We are both fully vaccinated with boosters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making connections with new people is very important to me and has resulted in incredibly special experiences in the past. I'd much rather stay with locals in a new city than at a hostel or sterile airbnb any day- I'm not into being a super tourist and there is so much to learn and talk about from people who live long term in a place. I am not here to flirt, but I'd love to meet you if you're looking for a traveler friend :)

Interests

I studied visual and performing arts, mainly post modern dance, sculpture, and physical theatre. I am now a leatherworker by trade and a performer. Butoh is my love. In my free time I enjoy walking around, eating (affordable) good food, baking, exploring parks, and dancing. Getting out of the city is always fun, hiking/ trekking, and rock climbing are things I have always enjoyed and would like to get more into again. I recently got my divers certification and am trying to connect with and enter the diving community!
