About Me
ABOUT ME
I am currently an architecture student pursuing my Masters degree at UT Austin in Texas. When I have the time, I enjoy hosting and meeting new people, gardening, playing with our chickens, and reading.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
By hosting whenever possible. At this point, I have hosted more than travelled, but am eager for more trips!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I joined CouchSurfing when I desperately needed a place to stay while I took a week-long painting workshop in Colorado. I was quite fortunate to find a very generous host who took me in despite my lack of CouchSurfing history. I have since met similarly wonderful CouchSurfers co-hosted with my boyfriend Jeremy and I am eager to continue doing so!

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you about the double-dig method of organic gardening. I can share my experiences with raising backyard chickens. I want to relearn French studied in college and piano played as a kid.
