Hello there! I am a small individual in a big, wide world. After graduating from tiny progressive high school in Indianapolis, I'm spending the next year studying physical theatre at a small conservatory in Northern California before heading into my undergrad, which may or may not happen in the USA. I haven't traveled a ton yet, but am so longing to learn and explore!

This summer, I'm spending lots of time studying in other states, which means I will not be able to host. However, once I'm all settled and moved into my apartment in Humboldt, I'd love to have guests on weekends and show them around. I'll be living in a tiny town about 10 miles inland of Arcata, the Redwoods, and the Pacific coast. Blue Lake is quaint, progressive, and fresh, wild blackberries line every street you cross. It's a beautiful place to make art in and about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to learn from both people and places. I also love to share my people and places with the rest of the world! It's a celebration for all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can do the splits, sometimes. Otherwise, I'm still learning!

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH -- bike mechanics, cooking, empathy, my city
LEARN -- love, lifting weights, Italian, whatever art you practice
SHARE -- a sweet couch, a beautiful view, a lot of joy, and simple food on special occasions
