CURRENT MISSION

To be the next Michealangelo

ABOUT ME

I am truly a walking emblem of Berkeley: I was born at home to two wonderful parents (both former dancers), I am extremely progressive minded (a Victor Debs, Vonnegut fan), I am a strong environmentalist, I am artistically minded...etc. My artistic nature has always been my greatest strength. My travels, experiences, and encounters form and inspire my art, writing, and architecture. currently, I am an architecture student at cal poly in my 4th year. i just turned 21 and hope my twenties bring great travels, experiences, and times.

PHILOSOPHY

witty banter is always the best alternative. but seriously, there is not enough time to be bothered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have an open couch while I attend school in firenze and hope to find the cushion of generosity while I travel around Europe during breaks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive. I hosted one person so far, a traveling musician from Austria. Besides that, I have met a few fellow surfers in Italy and along my travels through Europe though I personally have yet to surf another persons couch through this program. Not to say I havent slept on my fair share of random couches throughout my lifetime, just last night in fact I found myself cuddled up on a nice wicker couch in firenze.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I still cannot get over that I see the Duomo every day for nine months. It is a cherished monument in my life and one of the original interests in Architecture.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to share any of my skills, drawing, writing, architecture, art history. If you visit me in Firenze, I promise I can provide a more exciting if not informative tour of the city and its art.
