CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an art student from Northern California! Currently, I am doing an overseas program here in Bologna for a year!I love Bologna, and it has just occured to me - halfway through my time here- that couchsurfing is a great way to meet fantastic, interesting people. I love to talk... (in Italian and in English) so please, let's go for an apperitivo or a coffee!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couch surfed before.... but I am really looking forward to meeting some other people who have been bitten by the travel bug!

Interests

I love to read and do anything related to art. Right now I am obsessed with precious metal-smithing and lapidary, which is a complete blast!

I work painting murals over the summer, I love to sculpt, and make linoleum block prints.

My love for travel most likely stemmed from the time I lived in Hong Kong, from first to third grade. Ever since then I have loved meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and seeing the world from a different point of view.

I am a voracious learner, and I love learning new things, and expanding my horizons.
