About Me

I am currently a student and I am studying Visual Communication Design, but my interests are pretty vast; I think it's important to explore all interests and passions equally and I have interests in fashion and hand-sewing, history, literature, fine arts, furniture design, book binding, film photography, cooking and baking, really everything. I also like traveling and meeting new people, making new friends, biking, meditating. Some old man on a sidewalk in Cincinnati, Ohio last summer stopped me to talk to me for a while out of the blue, and told me that anyone can be a guru, no matter who, where, or how old they are. And I really do believe that .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need somewhere to stay because I never plan well enough in advance before trips. Unfortunately, I move every 4 months or so which means my living situation is never stable enough to host guests.

Interests

Design, art, fashion, different cultures, exercising, biking (bicycling, although motorcycles are cool too!), music of any and every kind, dancing, other people's passions and supporting each other, traveling, painting, building/sculpting/crafting things, sneakers, early 2000's trends, girl bands, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know yet, I'm still young and have time to work on this

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to take some good candid photography. Also how to figure draw; from a nude model or in a candid, public context as well; It's one of my few skills that I feel most confident in. I can also dance really well utilizing lots of hand and arm movements and I'm down to share any appealing skills. And I'd love to learn anything you're willing to offer

What I Can Share with Hosts

zest for life! and a youthful spirit.
