Hi there :)

A tailor, amateur fermentation experimenter and lover of plants, committed to curiosity, connecting, and creating.

Mishigami, also known as Michigan, welcomed me with open arms 5 years ago and I've grown such a tender spot for this land, and its people. I love gardening, and collecting rocks, and baking, and walking around Belle Isle.

Pretty easy going and I don't usually need a lot to be having a good time.

On the hunt for the best espresso martini - lets go find it together, or make it at home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm fortunate enough to have space for hosting folks here in Detroit - traveling is expensive and resources are for sharing. We got enough to carry us through if we lean on each other.

I love staying with couch surfers while I am traveling! I've met some truly lovely humans - When someone is willing to share their home with me it always makes the trip feel like theres a bit of home everywhere I go, ya know?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Read 45 books last year

Teach, Learn, Share

I love a good bottle of wine or a hot cup of tea - If time allows, let's break bread together and get to knowing each other

Working with my hands and creating things brings me so much fulfillment. Got a project you're working on? I'm always down to collab on something or learn a new skill.. A jack of all trades, but master of none is still better than a master of one :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

When hosting - I've got a comfy air mattress in a private room, good vibes, a fridge to explore and many recs for the city. Please be respectful of my space and treat it with care :)

When surfing - I like to take it easy and I usually travel to find new and cool spots to loiter in. I am more than happy to help out around the house, and join the fray of the everyday with you.
