Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Making art that inspires others and traveling the world
ABOUT ME
There's nothing more that excites me than hopping on a plane and going for an adventure to an unfamiliar place.
I'm an aspiring visual artist who aims to inspire those around me with my work.
I love immersing myself in new cultural experiences and observing all art forms.
I've been fortunate enough to live and study in Italy and Australia where I practiced illustration, painting, and digital art. I loved every moment of my experience in these places; and while my time there was brief, it has instilled in me an urge to travel even further down the unbeaten path.
One of the most culturally diverse locations that I found myself in would be Black Rock City, Nevada. Home to the music and art festival Burning Man, Black Rock City was where I realized that there is an infinite number of diverse individuals out there with whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting.
I'm looking forward to connecting with the CouchSurfing community and continue traveling!
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live; love and be loved.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would love to host couch surfers someday! I'm new to CS. I can't wait to get started.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had my first couch surfing experience in Paris. It was absolutely incredible! Elias was an amazing host. Thanks to him, I saw a part of Paris that was authentic and memorable.
Interests
Aside from travel and spontaneous adventures, I'm interested in recreational activities such as hiking, surfing (even though I'm terrible at it), snorkeling, bouldering and spelunking.
I also love going to museums of all sorts and spending hours sketching whatever captures my attention.
Also, I really enjoy karaoke and dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books
I have a thing for 80's classic movies like E.T., The Goonies, and Back to the Future. I've recently read, "Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "The Fault in our Stars."
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Though I've only traveled to a handful of places, I've had my share of incredible experiences. One of the most amazing things I've seen is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I was amazed to see the array of fish and coral! Funny story: I once gave a 10 minute drunken lecture on how we should be saving the Great Barrier Reef while my roommate threw lemon seed bread crumbs at my face.
