I’m a professional balloon artist and decorator. I’ve really fell in love with travel and looking to meet people around the world. I’m also considering Van Life at some point.

I’m openly gay and work in politics s I focus primarily on criminal justice policy.

As a hobby I enter contests and that has allowed me to travel a few times around the country.

I was an Intercultural Studies major in college so I really like learning about people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m trying to travel a lot more and meet more people. I don’t really have the money to spend on hotels and you don’t really meet or get to know the locals that way. I thought I would try this.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I’m really bad about music. I listen to show tunes and a few other albums but I usually listen to podcasts and audio books.

Movies: I’m a nerd. Give me Marvel super hero movies or cheesy Hallmark movies.

Books: I’m trying to force myself into more novels but I read a lot of self development books. Just finished Vagabonding which is where I learned about Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won best performance at Dallas Comic-Con for the best performance with my Ursula balloon costume. I sang Poor Unfortunate Soul.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some balloon art if I have supplies.
