CURRENT MISSION

take more chances and take the rest less seriously.

ABOUT ME

currently? i'm a workaholic and caffeine addict. so passionate about art, i made it my occupation. it's great to get paid to basically draw all day. i'm easy-going and very laid-back. i don't tend to stress much and can get along with just about anyone. i am accepting of all lifestyles and beliefs. i work hard and play hard and am always up for an adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

when i found out the actual size of Jupiter in relation to the Earth, my mind was blown. i am astounded at the idea that one thing could fill your entire scope of vision. when i start to obsess about the little things or get bent outta shape over something trivial, i remember my scale in the grand scheme of the universe and i'm put back into check.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i would love to host more people if possible. i've enjoyed getting to know those who've hosted my friend and i throughout our travels in europe and am ready to return the giant favors we were shown across the pond.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my best friend nikki and i traveled through the uk and europe and met a handful of wonderful people through couchsurfing. it forces me to be less of a hermit and more open to the vast sea of different and intriguing individuals out there.
