hi i'm jamie. i'm a person who likes to meet other people. i’m sorry i’m an extravert majority of the time, but i can also chill! i work within architecture so traveling cities is one of my favorite things to do. i like history, science, marvels artificial and natural. i believe in fairness (libra here ⚖️) and been searching for alternative ways to go thru life that don’t buy into all of consumerism. trying to figure out how architecture fits into it without me selling my soul to developers... it’s possible!!!!

currently working for a firm that designs schools. i ride my bike lots and listen to live music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to learn more about a city through staying with someone who is willing to share their space with complete strangers. I think that something wonderful about Couchsurfing cause it connects people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

i’ll talk to you about the book i’m currently reading or a podcast i recently listened to. also i learn from experience so i try to teach from that. i like learning about people and the mechanics of the world. anything science heavy is my jam. i’m learning the mandolin (no previous musical experience) so if you want to sit down and give a lesson to a bright eyed, bushy tailed peep... come at me! i’ll share my outlook and my laugh with you... also i’ll talk about all the places i visited and lived. I really enjoy sharing about cooperative living. also i study architecture so if you wanna figure out how to make something or talk about aesthetics... 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
