I'm a performance poet, mural painter, and event producer traveling around the world, hoping to create and share art as a means of healing and universal connection.

Currently traveling Australia with a comedian who is performing in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival! I'll be doing his tech and performing poetry as much as possible between shows. We're just two artsy nomads trying to share some love and collab on some art and cook ya some dinner.

I'm a writer and an artist from New York City. I've been living in Southeast Asia for the last 4+ years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You learn so much more about a place from a local perspective, and as a traveling artist interested in performing internationally, couchsurfing makes it affordable and also is a way to network and build with likeminded people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook! I love kids and animals, and enjoy swapping culture and language and travel stories. I love to have a good time, but am very respectful of others' spaces too, so whether we all go out to bars and parties or stay in and relax, I'll always make the bed and keep my belongings tidy :)
