Hello! I am a visual artist who currently lives in works in Rome, Italy. I grew up in the United States, in the Midwest, and lived in New York for 5 years before relocating to Rome. I am currently on a fellowship, working for an American University. I am laid-back and down to earth, ready to help out, swap stories, and see new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I use couchsurfing to travel economically, and to meet the very best kind of people - people who are interesting and interested in others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I used couchsurfing with great success when I was a student in Italy. Now that I am working in Italy, I am using couchsurfing to meet and connect with new people around the country and the world. My favorite couchsurfing experience happened in Cinque Terre, Italy, where I stayed on a little wooden boat in the sea, under a million stars. My sweet host was very apologetic that it wasn't a proper "room". It was one of the best experiences of my life.
