About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live out of a backpack for as long as I can manage

ABOUT ME

I am a young artist wandering through the world for inspiration.

PHILOSOPHY

If someone steals your shoes, walk barefoot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer my couch for travelers, and in turn ask to spend a few nights on theirs.

Interests

walking throughout the world and meeting all the best people along the way. participating in the different cultures and learning the languages as I go. I also love to draw, so I will always have a sketchbook with me. I enjoy feeling lost.
