I'm excited to see new places and find new experiences! I'm from the beautiful Colorado mountains, though most of the year I'm a student in New York. I study Media and Art History, among other things. I'm a photographer, and I love to write and draw ( though I'm not so good with drawing). I'm happiest when I'm learning and creating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This fall I'm studying in St. Petersburg, Russia, and I plan to travel for a few weeks to see new places. I haven't travelled very much outside the U.S. and I'm hoping to have as many adventures and meet as many new people as I can while saving some money (you have to eat right?).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've learned not to rely on the praise of others in determining my self-worth, and I'm growing a meaningful identity of expression founded on the things that I enjoy doing rather than what others have told me I'm good at.

Also I'm in a circus and fire arts group which often involves lifting people above my head while they spin flaming objects around.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a thing or two about art, and have plenty to share about photography. I also practice circus arts, and can teach you how to juggle, spin poi, or acro-balance!
I'm always curious about learning new skills and knowledge and just about anything really.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always happy to share stories and conversation! I like to entertain, and though I'm not much of a cook I can follow directions and help out if need be. If you're in need of a new profile pic I can definitely help with that!
