I love meeting new people and getting to know new places. I like to explore the off-beat nooks and crannies. I'm an artist (www.iandtheothers.com) and like to draw inspiration from every day experiences, thoughts and observations and traveling and meeting new people is the perfect way to do this!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great community. I prefer to get to know places through locals and like to share my experiences with others.

Interests

Anything creative, music, cooking, gardening, road trips, meeting interesting strangers in interesting situations, quirky cafes & bars, festivals, anything that happens in summer! I always love to have an art project happening - whether it be painting a mural or sketching ideas for new work.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES: I love a movie with a good twist, or something that provokes contemplation such as Donnie Darko
MUSIC: I love such a varied range of music
BOOKS: I really enjoy reading biographies - usually of artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked on the DPW crew for Burning Man in 2009 - I lived in a tent in the desert of Nevada for a month and worked with the shade crew doing construction in preparation for the festival - amazing people, amazing time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook and love sharing a good kitchen experience. Sharing music is always great too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, music and of course art - I love to leave images wherever I go, especially in the form of a mural.
