ABOUT ME

Hey! My name is Taylor and I am a Brooklyn based Furniture Designer and Artist. I love seeing what nature, foreign cities, and other worlds have in store for me. My many interests include folk music, brutalist architecture, post-modern sculpture, memphis furniture, surrealist painting, film photography, and science-fiction movies and books. An ideal vacation for me includes - good food, art museums, much walking, hiking and landscape photography, as well as much need relaxation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Until I get myself a place that I can actually host people, I use Couchsurfing exclusively to find people all around the world to stay with and hang with. I've met incredible people while hosting and couchsurfing and I look forward to making more connections!

Interests

My interests are constantly expanding I love to learn about new things. My latest obsessions have been the furniture and sculpture of Isamu Noguchi, the fabulous music of Sturgill Simpson, and the complex paintings by Giorgio di Chirico.
