The youngest of 5 but also the biggest, I like cats and dogs and ramen and that clean clothes smell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with locals and have a more authentic experience in the places I visit.

Interests

At the end of the day, art is what drives me. Photography and illustration are my main jams but I like to dabble in many things. Currently travelling the states in my pursuit of inspiration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you what I know about photography and illustration. 👌👌

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer an extremely friendly attitude! For real though, if you need any heavy lifting done or help with a project or all your dishes washed, I'm your dude. Also, I do have a camera if you're looking for that spicy, new profile pic!
I may even be able to make you some cookies. 😊
