About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just moved to Panama City Beach, living in my car. Hoping to find a couple of jobs and take advantage of the tourism. Come August I'll take a trip out west and then move to Korea to teach English

ABOUT ME

I'm a ceramicist. My work includes pottery as well as sculpture, all revolved around community and local food. I love being outdoors and need sunshine to function properly.

PHILOSOPHY

Live by your rules, no one else's.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted in New York City, Virginia, and Arkansas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had really great experiences due to couchsurfing! I couchsurfed with some people in NYC and they became great friends and encouraged me to move there when I was 19. They helped me find a place to live and a job to get me started. After New York I moved to Brazil and couchsurfed with an American. He offered me a place to stay in exchange for working in his garden. These people became longterm friends who I still stay in contact with today.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Brazil by myself when I was 20, had my 21st birthday in a hammock in the mountains surrounding Rio. Looking back I'm completely amazed that this happened.
