CURRENT MISSION

Taking a few road trips- one east to see work in New York (or maybe just to Chicago) - one west to LA

ABOUT ME

I'm an grad student/artist living in Austin, TX. I'm attending the University of Texas at Austin for my MFA. I love traveling and meeting new people. I like to drink good beer and enjoy myself. In terms of my work... I'm working on multimedia presentation performances/mass media videos/and narrative videos that deconstruct social/cultural constructs and theory.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Austin and have 3 roommates, but I would be more than happy to support some travelers. I'm currently traveling now so I'm not able to host right now.

I am currently looking for a place in either Chicago or New York to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to this site by a friend recently. No experience yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Verona, Italy and Vienna, Austria in the summer of 2006 and it was amazing! So much art, I saw a really great Egon Schiele exhibit at the Wien Museum, and the Klimt Frieze at the Secession Museum also in Wien. I've been to several excellent places on this continent - like New York, LA, Montreal, and Honolulu.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh my goodness, I'm all about some community support and help and togetherness: I would just like to say that it's important to experience things now, while the chance is there. If an opportunity makes it self available go for it.
