I moved from San Diego to Philadelphia about a year ago and have been working as a pre-k teacher for half that time. I like to make illustrations of whatever I'm reading at the time, try shitty printmaking techniques at home, watch movies on the projector, and dance whether it be cuttin a rug at home or on the town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to accept requests when I come back from my trip this summer if anyone wants to come visit Philly. Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom apartment and have plenty of space you could crash! Otherwise, during the last week of June and through July, I plan to be in Naples, Palermo, Barcelona, Budapest, and Berlin. Let's kick it
