About Me

I recently returned in July after finishing my MFA in Physical Theatre in Italy. I have been hanging around Greenville and I'm very interested in creating new works. I teach, but have a pretty flexible schedule.

Would love to meet up and talk about art or theatre or find fun things to do.

I don't have any solid plans now that I've graduated, but I'm looking for an artistic home to be a part of!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to fall in love with this big world we're on. I want to meet people and learn their perspectives. To see how different we are and how we can bond over one thing. I'd love to meet artists and thinkers from all over the world in hopes of making lifelong, global connections.

Interests

I am a nerd when it comes to theater and art, books, and writing. Some of my favorite moments have been spent visiting museums and art galleries or exhibits. I enjoy journaling and sketching and watercolor painting. I am not very good at small talk, but once I get to know you, sometimes I won't shut up.
I love comedy, board games, video games, and astrology. I also love to cook and bake and recently taught myself to make meringues.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tv: Parks and Recreation, Sense8, The Good Place, Great British Baking Show, SNL
Movies: Chaplin's The Great Dictator, Patch Adams, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Moulin Rouge, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Books: Harry Potter, The Percy Jackson Series, theatre books (about process of theatre creation), anything by Kurt Vonnegut, sight now I'm obsessed with the Poorly Drawn Lines comics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent six weeks at circus school studying acrobatics, dance, and trapeze, even though I am afraid of heights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to meet up for a coffee and hear about your travels and how they affected you. I'm also interested in language exchange.

If you want to talk about arts and performance, I would be happy to share and listen to your stories! I can talk about my dreams of one day opening an international exchange theatre in the Southeastern U.S. when I return home.

If you'd like, I can give you a light-hearted tarot reading or we can cook a meal together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and baking and while I don't consider myself a perfect chef, but if I can share some Southern home cooking with you, then I hope you will be happy.

I'm also learning to read tarot cards so if you'd like your cards read, I'd be happy to do so for you.
