Update (3/2017):

So after living with roommates for a few years, I just got a house where I can host people. I've been pretty bad at responding (really bad) but I am going to try to be better and host people in the next couple of months. There's a twin bed in my studio and a double futon in the living room, as well as a blowup full mattress.

ABOUT ME

free spirit-- artist -- traveling and meeting new people are my favorites. I have two shelves of tea in my kitchen. I work at a vintage store and spend my free time teaching and making art. I just got married and we took a honeymoon in Iceland to see the northern lights ( we got to see them on our first night there!!). I love literature, records, knitting, and foreign movies too.

I run a small henna business where I do henna tattoos I learned in India at local fairs and parties. My Instagram https://www.instagram.com/addictedtohenna/ has some samples of my work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm at a place in life right now where extensive travelling isn't feasible, but I want to stay inspired and in touch with the global community, so hosting is my way to do that! I can't wait to meet you and live vicariously through your travelling experiences! Also, I just really love Tallahassee and want to give you a great experience of this little southern town.

Interests

I love to read, and go to concerts, and a multitude of creative pursuits. But most of all I just like spending time with people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I rented a scooter in Mussoorie, India and took it all over the surrounding Himalayas. It was a blast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and learning about art, literature, natural dyeing, and gardening.
