I am a mixed media artist studying at SAIC. I traveled to Europe for the first time the summer of 2016, backpacking through Portugal, Spain, France, and briefly the Netherlands. My love for traveling has only grown since then. Ive recently been exploring more of the US, but my heart still longs to be across the world, meeting new people and exploring the amazing different cultures that make up this beautiful world. As an artist, I study people and their relationships, so traveling is especially important to me for this reason. Exploration always allows a new approach for me, to see with a different set of eyes, beside just my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to meet new people! I strongly value developing new connections and learning from the experience of others just as I hope to share what I can. I believe in the interdependence of this world, and I live to understand and work with others as much as possible. As for couch surfing, I hope to find any one who is open to having me in their home. I would love the opportunity to stay with local residents. I'm not a huge partier like most travelers staying at larger hostels. I simply enjoy the humbler assets to traveling.
