I am an artist living in New Orleans, LA. My work is inspired by the natural world and by community, relationships and the emotional journey. I'm independent, adventurous and love meeting new people.

In most of my traveling I prefer to sleep in my tent under the stars in the wilderness but it is nice to have the option of couch surfing to meet new people in cities and learn about different areas.

I am friendly and have a super considerate southern gal approach to being a guest. Meaning, I clean up after myself and would lend a hand in someone else's space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer I am working on a project that incorporates traveling the US with building community and expressing and sharing that in my work. So there are going to be nights where I will need to crash somewhere and would prefer getting to meet new people and see the real side of a community.
