I'll be traveling through Northwestern Europe this spring and summer with my partner Tedd. This is our first long term traveling experience and we welcome all tips and recommendations! My favorite things to do when traveling are city walking, drawing in cafes and visiting museums and cultural sites. I also like to spend my time cooking, listening to music and dancing. I love the small town I'm from in North Carolina and can tell you all about it if you are interested in visiting Durham. I'm an artist and you can check me and my drawing out on Instagram @slowwjam

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel more and step outside of the personal bubble that I feel makes me too guarded. I would like to be closer with others and more comfortable with strangers, and learn more about different ways of life. I would rather be around people excited to share their love of travel and place of residence like I am.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share plenty of recommendations for places I've visited, especially for Durham and neighboring NC cities. I would be happy to teach or help you with drawing, printmaking and painting, and show you some regional and local recipes. I would like to learn more about other cultures, especially via food and regional music.
