CURRENT MISSION

Explore the American southwest, have my mind blown by nature.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and meeting new people! Last year I was traveling in Europe so I'm eager to check out some of the (many) parts of the US that I haven't seen. I love art museums, hiking and camping, and wandering beautiful neighborhoods. I am always down to grab a beer and some fries and meet somebody new. I'm mostly vegan (I don't let it hold me back if there aren't any options but I stick to it when I can) and really interested in trying every city's vegan spots.

PHILOSOPHY

Take risks, be kind, eat fries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was living in New Orleans my roommates and I hosted couchsurfers (on my roommate's account). It was so fun to show them the city, and it made me appreciate it so much more when I was couchsurfing the next year in Europe.

I had a great surfing experience in the town of Dunkerque in Northern France when some friends and I visited for their Mardi Gras/Carnaval celebration. We stayed with a family and they were so gracious and open and even lent us some crazy costumes to wear. It made the already amazing carnaval even better because we felt like we were locals.

Interests

I'm a painter and I love public art, art museums, graffiti, all of it. I also enjoy walking, hiking, running, swimming, and generally just being outdoors. Also really enjoy vegan food, indian food, and breweries. And dogs (but I don't have one).
