CURRENT MISSION:
Improving my illustrations, improving my self

CURRENT LOCATION:
Berlin, Germany!

WHO AM I?
I'm a US-American, living in Berlin, working as a freelance illustrator and enjoying the city!

ABOUT ME:
I like to make friends with the people sitting by themselves at the lunch table or outside the party smoking and talking about life. I care about the people around me and I like to make everyone feel included.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't use couchsurfing for dating or hookups. I just want to make friends :)

I've couchsurfed in Europe and all around South America, I was involved with the Washington DC group, and I've hosted and hung out with the CS groups in Berlin.

Couchsurfing has changed a lot over the years but I still believe in the spirit of welcoming people FOR FREE. The world needs hospitality more than ever now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Argentina I hitchhiked all the way from El Chalten to El Bolson, a trip of 1300 kilometers, through Patagonia, alone, in two days. I barely spoke Spanish. I never thought I could, should, or would hitchhike all by myself. It was an amazing experience, humbling, and one of the greatest adventures I had on my trip

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak a little Spanish and I would love to practice! Also if you speak any German PLEASE PLEASE help me practice, I'm so bad at it and I need to get better.

Do you like drawing or writing or anything creative? Let's collaborate!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can guide very simple yoga and meditation sessions (though I am not an instructor)
I have some experience as a freelancer so I can give advice on being self employed.

Finally if you're really lucky I'll make you some drawings to keep as souvenirs :)
