CURRENT MISSION

Art, exploration, and meeting new people

ABOUT ME

I love people, I love stories, I love new experiences, I love traveling. I have been working in a high school, but am giving up the normal job to have an art career. I make figurative artwork. I am from a small town, but lived in Berkeley, CA for 7 years. I have a lot of energy, and love being outside, and hiking, beaches, sailing, projects.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is in the process of turning into something else. Appreciate what shows up in your life, both the good and the bad are gifts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couch surfing in 2009, but my profile expired. I took a bike trip around california and couch surfed the whole time, it was great! I have been living at a school for the last two years, working in a dormitory, so havent been able to host anyone, but I look forward to doing it.
