ABOUT ME

I am an innovative thinker who believes in creative expression. Experience is the true form of education, and I plan to experience as much as I can, never turning down an opportunity.

I love to paint, draw, and design.

PHILOSOPHY

The creative mind is endless. There are an infinite amount of stories to share with each life encountered. I feel I would miss out on the creative world if I stayed in one place. Excelling in life always leads to more, and I want as much as I can get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a few travelers stay on my couch here. One was from Chile, one from Austria, but my most memorable experience was a band from Switzerland. We found them in town and offered them a place to practice and stay. They ended up staying a while, providing great music everyday, playing shows, providing endless amounts of Lost Coast Brewery beer, and truly enjoying the Arcata lifestyle.
