Hey! I am an artist from NY. I crochet, make glass (flamework) and make films (both digital and analog!)
I love walking, biking and learning new things!
I am backpacking by myself through Europe right now for the first time, it’s very exciting and slightly overwhelming but I’m having a blast thus far.😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find a place to stay whilst traveling where I can also meet new people and really integrate myself into the new areas I explore! I love having conversations with people and learning about their passions. Exchanging cultures and fun facts!
