About Me

I live and work in Baltimore as a freelance graphic designer and farmer, with aspirations of becoming an architect. I am vegetarian, bike or walk everywhere, and live in a 1975 airstream motorhome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked across Europe in 2013, hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017 and hope to continue traveling, now with Couchsurfing along for the ride.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can show you around Baltimore, show you farming techniques at the community garden I manage , give basic music lessons.
Learn: would love practice learning French. I am learning clawhammer banjo. Also always interested in permaculture/ sustainable living practices.
Share: I will give you book and music recommendations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share stories, teach new skills (such as music, or anything really), and share my city. My house is small, and I live without much (no shower, no laundry machines etc) as I am in a tiny house RV, but glad to give you a bed and share a meal.
