About Me

Hello hello, I am a queer nomadic artist currently living out of a van, mostly based in California. I like to share my art wherever I go. Lately I have been making copper jewelry and art that is focused on celebrating divine feminine energy. My interests are always growing. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know, but some things I think and love to talk about are: Psychology, astrology, music, spirituality and what that means to different people, dreams, Carl Jung and the earth, art and activism especially related to climate change, herbs, holistic medicine, food, anarchy, meditation. If you are a vipassana meditator I would love to meditate together! Or if you are into techno, I would love to see the underground scene in your place :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing to me seems like a brilliant way to travel on a budget while at the same time meeting some awesome individuals and getting a real sense of the place you are staying. I find it refreshing to know there are curious adventurous and kind people in the world ready to share there homes with strangers! I love the idea of couchsurfing because traveling is much more than seeing a place. It is about the energy, the people, the food and customs, the hidden gems, the layers of a culture and history of the land. Couchsurfing reveals these layers and also allows us to break down the artificial and made up things that separate us like borders. With the state of the world right now, I feel we need this sort of thing more than ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trained for a marathon during my freshmen year of college ... and eventually running it without puking or shitting my pants :)
