CURRENT MISSION

To live the best life possible and leave the world a little bit better than how I found it.

ABOUT ME

I'm a native New Yorker who moved to St. Louis by way of Pittsburgh, PA. I studied Arts Management in school and have been focusing on marketing in nonprofit arts organizations. I miss the beach terribly, but I am warming up to my Midwestern life. I organize an art CSA in St. Louis and love finding opportunities to get involved in my community through the arts. I'm really into ceramics, sustainable agriculture, NPR, outdoor movies, and public parks. I have two pretty awesome cats and I currently live with my boyfriend who is a very nice bearded man.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is just too short to be unhappy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, but I don't get a chance to do it nearly enough so I've hosted more often than I've surfed. I also tell anyone and everyone about couchsurfing and encourage them to join the community as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone I've met through couchsurfing has been wonderful and I'm grateful that this site has allowed me to meet so many people I would never have otherwise crossed paths with.

Interests

Museums. Public art. Playing Bananagrams and Cards Against Humanity. Craft beer. Good food. Urban explorations. Photography and especially instant film. All of the cats.

Music, Movies, and Books

Take This Waltz, Blue is the Warmest Color, 20 Feet From Stardom
The Goldfinch, Beautiful Ruins, Freedom
Sylvan Esso, Sigur Ros, St. Vincent

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I kissed the Blarney Stone when I was 13. I'm not sure it gave me the gift of gab, but it was a pretty cool experience.
