ABOUT ME
I recently graduated from art college and I'm excited to explore the world!
I'm pretty laid-back and I love people. In my free time I read good books and go out dancing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once saw a gangster storm into a Rite Aid in the middle of the night demanding salad dressing.
I also went skydiving once in Montana, which was amazing and terrifying.
