I'm an artist/writer/curious and open person who feels deeply and can find joy in most things, and bring that joy around as I move through the world. I'm part of a big family and love sharing, learning, teaching— space, food, ideas. I grew up moving often and am comfortable within change. Currently in a moment of large-scale change/reorientation— just finished undergrad so am figuring out how to craft some sort of durable life and sustainable generative art practice. I'm excited to stretch myself towards things that feel real and urgent, and excited to come to know others who are stretching also.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've traveled a lot and know how good a welcoming home feels to someone on the road. I love my apartment in Philly and would be honored to offer it as a temporary home base to passers through. Also, I'll be traveling a lot in the coming months, especially passing back and forth through Washington DC, so am looking for people to meet and couches to crash on while I'm in between jobs. Looking to learn from others and teach each other, and build some sense of nomadic home.
