About Me

I'm a freelance video editor and artist. I'm in my last semester of undergrad. I will be graduating in May and then traveling for 5 weeks to 6 cities in Europe!! I love dancing, both in the home or at clubs. I enjoy a glass of wine and good conversation.

Recently, I have become increasingly interested in design, from architectural to public welfare. I am looking at universities across Europe that could provide a graduate degree program....I am interested in technology and its place in contemporary art and dream of creating interactive video installations for exhibitions.

I am very young and just trying to figure out what type of lifestyle I want to live. I appreciate all and any guidance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to share myself and my abilities with others. I would love to trade knowledge with people from very different backgrounds than my own. I want to experience food in new places with new people. I'm quite poetic and imagine I could find joy in sharing a space with strangers. I also enjoy the uncanny feeling of familiarity with someone I've only recently met.
