Hello! I am an artist at heart. I went to school for history (thought I was going to be a teacher), but life had other plans. I worked FT, then finished school, and worked some more. I have started glass blowing and also draw a lot in my free time. I am looking to be more outdoorsy and get involved in an active, but laid back, life style. I love exploring new places of course, too!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am looking to travel here and there. One goal I have is to move west. I am trying to get out there and on the ground to find work and a place to stay. Looking for a place to stay to learn about the area and to get going on my goals. I want to hike and experience more outdoors and wellness activities.
