About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay alive happy and healthy! Apparently apply for grad school or something like that...

ABOUT ME

I studied sculpture, drawing, and french because that's exactly what I wanted to go to school for.
I am disenchanted by strip malls and suburbs and wish to live out of the U.S. if I can, though I do love NY and SF.
I want to either be A: an English teacher abroad or B: a commercial art person, or C: an educator in the US!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the ideology of the international citizen.

I also believe that people can dig their toes in any sand, should they so choose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to be a positive and imaginative addition to the live of the people i meet! I adopt stray people at burning man and I love to break bread and open bottles with good people.
