I am a poet currently enrolled in the MFA program at University of Montana.
I’m bookish and idealistic (let’s watch the sunset on a bridge! the city at night is a painting!) I love board games, dance parties and drinking wine. I like to cook and eat and try new things. I like street art and live music. When I go to museums I like to sit in front of one piece forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I’m home I want to give back to the Couchsurfing community who treated me so well on my solo trip through Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play a little bit of Ukulele, so we could jam if you don’t mind me stumbling through some chords.
