I believe in the power of creativity, love, myself, and other people.

I have a passion for storytelling and am constantly looking for ways to share the beauty of life through as many mediums as possible. Be it theatre, music, film, writing, or crafting like a five year old. The possibilities are endless.

There are so many moments in life that have made my heart soar. But what all of them have in common is creation, struggle, triumph, and collaboration/connection.

I am all about fearlessness, spontaneity, authenticity, artistic expression, and connecting with other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people. Everyone has something to offer, so I like enter every new encounter with the the thought "prepare to be amazed." People are amazing. I love hearing stories and getting to take a look into someone else's life. Couchsurfing has introduced me to some of the kindest people I've ever met.

I have a personal multi-media project called The Seeds We Plant (dedicated to human connection) that I sometimes like to work on when I travel. It consists of blog posts and interviews with strangers about the impact they hope to leave on the world and impacts that have been left on them. theseedsweplant.com
