(Please read the section about my home!)

I make art stickers and I like Europe. New Haven is pretty great too. I love to read books on porches, I have fantastic friends, and I'm quite easy to get along with.

Here's my art page, showing off what I do lots of: http://facebook.com/mwickhamart

If you can't tell, I'm awful at writing about myself. I will instead direct you to the references tab, where you can see what other people wrote about me. They said nice things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
