I'm a mental health counselor making the most of some time between jobs by exploring some other interests—I finished my first art residency earlier this year (2021), just spent 6 weeks working with a permaculture project in Northern Togo, and will be doing another residency in Aarhus, Denmark. I’m hoping to visit my friend for a few days in Granada, too :-).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couch Surfing as a way to meet people in my travels, and also to enable me to see my friend in Granada on my very limited budget :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love learning about the culture of wherever I am. Currently loving West African guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I self-published a children's book in Madison. It's called the Three Chickens, and it's a collection of stories I wrote and illustrated at the Madison Children’s Museum.
