A textile artist (previously interior designer) from Chicago. It’s probably not necessary to express that I love meeting new people and sharing new experiences with those from all walks. For me, CS isn’t a platform for affordability, but a way to feel more connected during my travels. My most pivotal and rewarding moments have been couchsurfing.

I’m always looking to explore new creative outlets. So if you’ve got something quirky, don’t hesitate to throw it my way! I love, love, love natural wine, hitting up my local music scene, divey bars / venues, or wine bar so I always like to make a point to do the same when traveling.

When I’m not meeting new people or hanging, I do value solo time during traveling. It’s ideal moments for me to write, sketch, shoot film and connect individually in a new place.

In short, wherever the wind takes me, catch me servin' up witty banter at your local watering hole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Been on couch surfing as of 2019 after a last minute decision to explore Iceland, I haven’t looked back since.
