CURRENT MISSION

Explore, be free. Moving upward while staying true to myself.

ABOUT ME

Midwest native, anxious nomad, finding unexpected answers around every fold of the map.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've used CS in Peru, Mexico and the United States and every experience has been wonderful. I've never met more generous, kindhearted hosts.

I have hosted once while living in NYC, where I hosted two lovely fellows from Australia for about 5 days. I'm currently living in Park City, UT.

Interests

Outdoor rompings, hiking, waterfall bathing, biking...I'm a bookworm and a daydreamer. Live music, festivals of all sorts, yoga, and making food for my friends. I get the most pleasure simply from being with the people I love...connection is everything. I love making art; I studied fashion/textiles in school, I'm a painter, illustrator, and currently learning how to weave. Let me paint a mural for you!

I'm currently working on practicing mindfulness; accepting the good and bad in life and taking everything as it comes with as much love and acceptance as I can muster.I would like to surround myself with likeminded people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, Tune-yards, world music, folk, classic rock. A bit of everything.

I'm a sucker for good television. I've watched Freaks and Geeks and GoT probably 6 times.

For both movies and books-dark, surrealist, quirky and philosophical stories usually capture me the most. (Clockwork Orange, Let the Right One In, Trainspotting)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Salkantay Trek in Peru was a life changing experience. I've also traveled extensively around the United States as a cross country tour guide. JMT 2017!!

Next up: Iceland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Romania and France!
