Just graduated from university with a bachelor’s in Radio/Television/Film and I’m traveling a bit and seeing some of the world before digging in and getting a job. Currently on what I’m calling my “half gap year.” Originally from Texas (yee-haw) and went to school in Chicago. I’m passionate about writing, picnics, cool breezes on hot days, folk music, reinterpreting art and history, finding long lost items, interesting birds, and mythology/folklore.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I decided to travel alone to meet new people and open myself up to new connections. I also believe there’s no better way to experience a new culture than through the eyes and experiences of the locals.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

The most amazing recent thing I’ve done is teach creative writing to kids from schools across Chicago. There are no boundaries or limits on a kid’s imagination and there’s nothing like it.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

TV/Movie and History trivia knowledge. Bring me to your local trivia night to round out your team. Also have extensive knowledge on conspiracy theories.

I would love to practice English with you! Can also teach/discuss creative writing.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I’m an excellent dishwasher. I lived in an apartment without a dishwasher for two years so I am a pro at getting those plates and silverware spotless by hand.

If you can show me where to buy a yellow cake mix, I can make the richest homemade dessert you’ve ever had.
