About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exchange stories + live a little through another's eyes

ABOUT ME

After a stint living in Australia, I'm home again and setting down roots... in the meantime!

I crave open spaces, places so beautiful a camera will do no justice (though I will undoubtedly try,) perfect strangers that become friends, conversations that render sleep secondary, music that insists on being felt and stories that demand to be told.

I think of myself as an articulate & inquisitive person. I love getting to know new people and hearing stories about their lives. Though I am a bit reserved when you first meet me, just give me some time to warm up!

PHILOSOPHY

Life and self becomes greater and more enjoyable when traveling to new places.

Leave everything better than when you found it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I work for a fashion magazine in Downtown Los Angeles and would love to meet up with travelers in my spare time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Melbourne and literally experienced a WHOLE lot of the city in a very short amount of time thanks to a really rad Couchsurfing Host. Met the utterly nicest people in Canberra when I lived there. Found there to be more kind and honest people in this world than I imagined.

Interests

Live to make photographs AND for good conversation in good company, preferably over a good meal!

Love to hikes places -wilderness or urban-, get to know people, drink coffee at outdoor cafes, read books in open air, experience new things.
