hi! I am an artist traveling indefinitely, documenting the people and places i meet, looking to find new ways to collaborate.

if i can get a little sappy and paraphrase seth godin: "art doesn't necessarily mean what one person or another makes. maybe it's just the ability to lead a life fully aware of the fears and living with the most awareness and compassion for life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and make new things! And join a community that believes in helping each other.

Interests

making things! making conversation, craftin up interesting cocktails, terrible (especially punny) jokes, learning, reading, walking, sour beers, dancing, traveling!

but really, the beer thing...

Music, Movies, and Books

I adore soaking up other people's tastes in music.
I have a serious soft spot for french dance pop, I'm really diggin' on D'Angelo's latest album, and fascinated with what Kendrick Lamar is doing.

The Waves by Virginia Woolf has been a favorite for a long time.

I thought Birdman was f***ing great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

aw, man!? what does that even MEAN? i have a reoccurring dream where i can jump insanely high and basically be flying and that's pretty damn amazing.

really, though, i s'pose finding my dog (charlie/chuck/chuckles/chuckie d...) (who will not be joining me, sadly) and rescuing him from the street of philidelphia. while I don't think this is in and of itself truly remarkable, what i have learned from him has been truly amazing. (so, really, one amazing thing that HE has done)

Teach, Learn, Share

learn all the things

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would adore to work on collaborative type projects with hosts. I am primarily a painter but have a handful of other skill sets with materials. LET'S MAKE STUFF.

In one of my many past lives I dabbled in bartending, so I like to experiment with crafting fun things to drink, and naming them all silly like.

My mother is a saint and taught me how to do all the chores, so I am also more than happy to help out handywoman style.

Extensive knowledge of jack handy jokes, an ability to sew things and shovel snow, and a kind heart that is willing to learn and listen and share our stories together. I'm sure there are other things too, but why give away all my secrets before meeting you?!
