ABOUT ME

I'm an artistic person with interests in travel (duh), nature, fashion, and textiles. I like to travel to rural/backwoods/remote places. Conversely, I am obsessed with fashion and can usually be found in my studio sewing up the next greatest trend.

I have subscriptions to both National Geographic and Vogue.

PHILOSOPHY

Golden Rule, of course. Treat others like you'd like to be treated. Fits well for couchsurfing, no?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have swum in the Great Barrier Reef and also explored glacial ice caves. The Bosnian pyramids changed my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about bicycles and sewing, and I'm pretty good with geography. I like to talk about personal philosophies and how other people make art and grow/gather/ food. I'm also interested in survivalists.
