I'm an American student and artist. I make illustrations while I travel. I am currently studying abroad in Rome, Italy. I want to meet new friends, especially artists and builders of things. I want to visit maker-spaces and artist communities around the world. I like to give illustrations and portraits to people to express my gratitude, and that goes for my couchsurfing hosts and new friends! I'm open-minded of our religions, cultures, histories, folktales, and experiences. Learning about people and sharing stories is my favorite thing about traveling and talking to new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for people to meet in new countries, to make friends, and to see beautiful architecture. I want to travel and draw my surroundings.
