I am a young, creative soul living in New Orleans, LA. I'm a painter/ designer and I work art dept on films. I strive to make connections through my work.

Human connection, shared emotion, and shared experience is such a precious thing to me, and I'll take as much as I can. As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I've received a gift when someone shares an idea, a song, a painting that resonates with them...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

And that's why I'm on couch surfing. I want to try a warmer way to travel. I love hosting and like the feeling of being a guest in someone else's home.

I want to see someone else's city how they see it.

Interests

Because my work is so involved, when I have time off I really enjoy studying or practicing a new skill. I love working with other individuals on projects and learning what they're passionate about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled 6,000 miles with just my truck and my dog.

Teach, Learn, Share

Art, design, drawing, film, film history. I've got some knowledge in these categories I'd be happy to share.

I want to learn what you know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share love, conversation, connection. I'd love to buy a drink at your local bar or a meal at your favorite restaurant, or better yet cook. I have tales of Mardi Gras and swamp life, money for wine and toilet paper. I'm great with dogs and better with babies.
