I live in oakland, CA. I love to make things ... i draw and paint pretty much every day. I am a very adaptable person and love adventures. I believe in making plans as you go, trusting your gut, and being curious. I am a respectful person, a really good listener, a little quiet, very good at following directions, and down to have a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing today because I am going to Atlanta this wednesday on the way to Columbus Georgia to attend an art workshop with master painter Bo Bartlett. I think Couchsurfing is awesome and have been wanting to try it for a while, aaaand there is no time like the present. Would be happy to host surfers in the future in Oakland, CA!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I climbed to the roof of an abandoned 11 story (or so) grain tower in the winter in Minneapolis the same day as walking across the frozen Mississippi river with my friends and both were terrifying and amazing.
