CURRENT MISSION

Keeping busy.

ABOUT ME

Back in Kansas City, my midwestern love. I go to art school and wander around. I have no idea where I'll be in a few months, but Italy, Mexico, and Hawaii are all possibilities. Spring is my favorite smell.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is sequential. I have a lot to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surf around and host, and want you to come stay with me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Memphis, Vienna, and Amsterdam, meeting other couch surfers along the way. Mostly when I travel I stay with friends or friends of friends. Or in tents.

Interests

Roadtrips, ocean waves, flea markets, thrift stores, Italian leather shoes, quality beer, my banjo, obscure documentaries, oatmeal, sleeping in the sun, forest green, trying new and unusual things. I hate clubbing so let's just get that straight right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me about Graceland Too, the Clairmont, sleeping in a plane engine, or playing cee-lo in a limo up to Omaha. Whenever I go to Atlanta, I age 5 years with what I see.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to use a 4x5 camera or play minimal banjo, and maybe you can show me how to cook something. Or take me kayaking. Teach me anything.
