CURRENT MISSION

Perform fabric sculptures to crowds that can relate. Inspire people with my journey. Teach what I know, learn, listen, and share stories/food/art work (I tour with print work that I make).

ABOUT ME

I like to dance/ yoga and am enthusiastic about sunshine.
To make connections with new people who have similar ethics and goals about sustainable living
I am an artist who makes wearable soft sculpture and performs them.

My favorites things to do are riding bikes and being outside.

PHILOSOPHY

"be who you wanna be, do what you wanna do--i am me and she is she, but you're the only you! no one has got your eyes and sees the things you see! It's up to you to change you're life, but my life's up to me!!!" -Crass

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To host people in Pittsburgh and show them some secret pockets

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Its awesome having a new friend show you all their favorite secret pockets of a city. Its a cool thing to share that experience.
My favorite experiences are often the weird ones... like when I truly have no where to sleep and ask a family if I could camp in their backyard because the cops kept telling me to move, this awesome turkish family invited me in for tea, dinner and insisted I sleep inside! It was so sweet. Whenever something happens like that, what a wonderful remindered to be open with people and trust someone to come in your house and be a guest

Interests

bikes, flowers, post mail, dubbing cassettes and silly words.
drawing, being outside, having weird picnics, making strange costumes and going on long journeys with them!
