About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If we all weren't so terrified of each other, I think we'd be going places.

ABOUT ME

I'm from Texas but I'm nowhere near close to being a cowgirl. I love to play soccer and watch movies, chill out with a cup of coffee and a book and go out with my friends, wander around town by myself, go for runs, travel, check out art museums and galleries...pretty much everything is an adventure for me, and I'm willing to try just about anything!

I'm an actor and artist and a never-ending-student. I love meeting people and listening to their stories and being apart of the new stories they make. Being able to constantly interact with new people fuels my life. I want to hear what everyone has to say. I want to burn through a list of questions with everyone I meet. I want to be able to show someone an idea or a thing they would never have thought possible were it not for our having met.

PHILOSOPHY

"I have never met a man so ignorant I couldn't learn something from him."
-Galilei

"Let life happen to you. Believe me, life is in the right, always."
-Rilke

Pay it forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I can't host but I would love to show you around Houston!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted two Dutch girls who are traveling together throughout the US and they were a blast...it was a great first experience, everyone else has a lot to live up to! ;)

Interests

I love love love art, especially photography, old cameras and camera stores, exploring the city I thought I knew so well, hiking, soccer, running, sitting at a bar with a great beer, clubs and lounges, coffee shops, searching for a book to read, then reading it, bookstores, cafes, ANY kind of food, going to the movies, renting movies (yes, I still have a Blockbuster card), driving around for no reason, building IKEA furniture, cooking, and traveling...duh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping off a mountain cliff in Mexico was pretty intense.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got a huge interest in art and photography. I can teach you to not use the Program function on your camera, how to properly expose a photo, how to develop your own film, and give you my perspective on art (my favorites are contemporary and modern) and films.
