About Me

Hello! I am a traveling artist from the Midwest. I hail from the great show me state of Missouri , but make my home in the awesome hippy town of Lawrence Kansas. If you’ve never been, stop on through it’s a delight... even though it’s in Kansas.
I spend my days making pottery and my weekends setting up shop at arts festivals across the country. It’s a very silly job, but I love it dearly.
I love to play fiddle and ukulele, I’m definitely a novice. My boyfriend is a real musician and if you stay with us he can wow your ears. I love music, I love art, and bright colors. I love meeting new people and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well, when i'm home i host,when i travel i spread the word of couchsurf to all travelers i meet. someone told me so i have to tell others, because it is a revolution!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have had many excellent experiences, i stayed for over a week with a great guy in new orleans during mardi gras, awesome guy with an apt. in the french quarter, showed us all ofthe good music spot, and kept us off bourbon street. Stayed with a few folks in mexico, very briefly but they were kind and courteous. So awesome to have "family" everywhere you go. but just check my comments and you'll see all my great experiences
