About Me

CURRENT MISSION

relax/ explore

ABOUT ME

I love dressing in costumes, and creating things by hand, whether that's making elaborate vegetarian meals with friends, making pickles from scratch, creating prints, handmaking paper, or binding books! I love listening to records and to the radio, and spending hours drinking coffee or tea and reading a good book. I'm also always up for going to shows & seeing new bands. I like making posters & prints & postcards & sending letters to friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent a fall WWOOFing and couchsurfing around Europe. Working on farms, meeting wonderful people through couch surfing, and exploring cities. My housing situations in New Orleans have been a little too crazy to host people, but I would be more than happy to give advice for things to do in the city and to grab a cup of coffee!

I would love to share a few of my favorite vegetarian recipes & spend an evening cooking up a meal. I am learning how to do a few easy printmaking techniques that I would be happy to share! I would love to learn how to sew or to better maintain my bike.
