Ivy: I am very friendly & extroverted when you first meet me. But i can become very shy easily. Just keep talking to me and asking questions, it's the best way to get me out of my own shell. I love animals, video games, and art. I'm open to a lot of new things (music, food, fashion, movies, plays etc.) i will try almost anything at least once. I'm also a ceramic artist. I specifically work on functional ware. I like that you can use functional things like bowls and cups on a daily bases. You come to appreciate the work a lot more after touching it every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well this is actually my first time couch surfing with people that aren't my friends. But i have airbnb'ed before and that was an enjoyable experience. Also i'm not afraid of meeting new people. So i thought this would be a good idea as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love so many types of music. But it's weird, my music taste changes with the season. Usually my summers are dedicated to country and twangy music. But i have been on a discovery kick and trying a lot of new things. So this summer has actually been dedicated to K-pop. Which sparked my interest in Korean food, ceramics, culture and language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduated college. I think we should celebrate the small victories even though i will eventually go back to get my masters. But 1 step at a time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new things and perspectives.

I can teach you a thing or to about ceramics.

I'm an open book. Let's share a meal & conversation together. You will probably learn my life story within the first 5 minutes if you don't stop me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A blindly optimistic, independent individual with an open mind. If your busy i wont ask to many questions. If you want to talk i'm an open book. I can cook & clean. If you need a helping hand i can offer that too.
