Hi! I’m new to the east coast. I’m originally from Chicago but now in Brooklyn getting an MFA in creative writing. I’m hoping to explore more of the area this summer, namely in MA doing research for a book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am hoping to become an ad-hoc local to Amherst and get a real feel for the city. I feel like I can do that best by living with a local and learning all about what makes the town special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach meditation and writing/English. I once taught dance to kids. I’m always down for learning new things and sharing whatever I can. I feel like we’re constantly learning from one another all the time.

What I Can Share with Hosts
