Hello! I'm a freelance designer + illustrator. I work from home, coffee shops, airports, hotels, you name it. I started the beginning of the 2016 by backpacking through Southeast Asia. Two months later, I came home but was ready for a new adventure.

My lease expires at the end of August and I'm planning on spending the next eight months living out of a backpack yet again. I'm starting in Colorado, but am planning on winding up somewhere in Asia by January.

Besides traveling and design/illustration, I enjoy hiking, drinking Dark & Stormies on the patio, biking through cities, reading, and listening to podcasts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm considering moving out to Colorado (currently living in Kansas City) and am doing a "trial run" before I commit to a year lease somewhere. I've heard so many wonderful things about different places so I'm having hard time narrowing it down. Because of this, I'd love to spend some time in various cities/towns to see what clicks. I'm a freelance designer/illustrator and I work remotely, so I'll be scouting out all the local coffee shops with great WiFi as well. : )
