I am an artist, graphic designer and aerialist (silks & lyra). I really love nature, photography, entomology and all types of circus arts. Sometimes I'm shy when I first meet someone but when I feel comfortable I open up and love laughing and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always wanted to travel the U.S. I've decided to go on my first journey ever. I really want to explore and see new things and get out of my comfort zone. I think this will be a great learning experience for myself!!
