CURRENT MISSION

Try everything everywhere

ABOUT ME

I was born in, raised in, and have lived almost all my years in the United States, most of them in a Cincinnati suburb called Fort Thomas, Kentucky. I just graduated from Macalester College, where I'm now working as a post-graduate sculpture apprentice. I've been all over the US - 47 of the 50 states - and studied in Spain for five months.

PHILOSOPHY

I like new things. New food, new people, new places. I like to learn how to do new things too, like cooking or crafts or whatever else you can teach me.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got started looking for friends during my semester in Barcelona, and have surfed a couple times abroad and in the US. I haven't been able to host anyone, as I've yet to settle down anywhere long enough to call home since college.

Intereses

I like strong coffee, straight whiskey, and rock and roll.

I spend my time making things (art, furniture, trouble), going to concerts, and wasting time with good people.
